Chavis homers in 13th inning as Red Sox outlast Blue Jays

TORONTO — Boston’s Michael Chavis hit a solo homer off Jimmy Cordero in the 13th inning as the Red Sox outlasted the plucky Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 on Wednesday night at Rogers Centre.

The Blue Jays forced extras with a ninth-inning rally and tied the game again in the 12th when Rowdy Tellez hit a solo shot after Mookie Betts went deep in the top half of the frame.

Chavis turned on a 1-2 pitch for his 10th homer of the year. Heath Hembree (1-0) worked two innings for the victory and Cordero (0-1) shouldered the loss.

Xander Bogaerts had three of Boston’s 10 hits while Betts walked three times and scored twice.

Rafael Devers homered for the third straight game for the Red Sox (26-23), who have won 15 of their last 21 games.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Justin Smoak hit solo homers for Toronto (20-29).

The Blue Jays have just six victories in their last 21 games. The series wraps today.
