Sox lose to Jays, stay 4 up on Yanks

Josh Donaldson homered and drove in three runs, powering the Toronto Blue Jays past the AL Eastleading Boston Red Sox, 6-4, on Monday night.

Boston’s six-game winning streak was snapped and its magic number to clinch a second straight division title remained at three.

The Red Sox lead the secondplace Yankees, who beat Kansas City earlier in the day, by four games with six remaining.

Eduardo Nunez and Mookie Betts both left with injuries for Boston. Nunez aggravated a right knee injury that sidelined him for 13 games, and Betts came out with pain in his left wrist.

Ryan Goins hit a solo homer and Teoscar Hernandez had a two-run double for the Blue Jays.

Red Sox lefty Drew Pomeranz (16-6) had his shortest start of the season, giving up five runs and seven hits in two innings.

Addison Russell hit a three-run double in the first inning, then made a food run for a fan in enemy territory while the Chicago Cubs beat the

St. Louis Cardinals 10-2 to move within a victory of clinching a second straight NL Central title.

Chicago can wrap up the division with a win Tuesday against the Cardinals or a loss by Milwaukee against Cincinnati.

Russell helped the Cubs get to starter Luke Weaver (7-2) early, then made some friends out of rival fans. After diving into the stands chasing a foul ball down the third-base line and spilling a fan’s tray of chips, Russell emerged from the dugout a few innings later with a plate of nachos and delivered it to the fan. Russell stopped to take a selfie before heading back to play shortstop.

RANGERS WIN OT

Ryan McDonagh’s goal at 3:51 of OT lifted the Rangers to a 3-2 win over the Flyers at the Garden.

Henrik Lundqvist made 37 saves for New York, which got goals from Rick Nash and Mika Zibanejad. Travis Sanheim scored both goals for the Flyers.
