TORONTO -- This wasnt the way the Blue Jays wanted to control Aaron Sanchezs innings. Cheap Nike Air Max Trainers Sale .David Ortiz drilled a three-run homer, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Hanley Ramirez also connected, and Boston outslugged Toronto 11-8 Sunday, reclaiming a two-game lead over the Blue Jays in the AL East.Edwin Encarnacion homered twice and Troy Tulowitzki hit his third career grand slam, but the Blue Jays couldnt force a tie in the standings. Toronto and Baltimore are tied for the lead in the wild-card race.It just didnt go our way today, Tulowitzki said. Theres a lot of time left.Sanchez allowed six runs and five hits in 3 2/3 innings. He struck out two and walked four.The right-hander said he struggled for most of the game with a blister on his middle finger, something thats bothered him on and off this season.I dont want to make excuses, the 24-year-old Sanchez said. Ive got to find a way to get deep in the game. Today was ugly. Obviously (the blister) didnt help.Manager John Gibbons said Sanchez likely will be skipped the next time through the rotation to let his finger heal and limit his workload in his first full season as a starter.Sanchez has allowed three home runs in his past two starts after giving up one homer in his previous 50 innings.Sanchez wasnt himself today, Tulowitzki said.

We know our division is good.Robbie Ross Jr. (3-2) got two outs for the win. Craig Kimbrel, the ninth Boston pitcher, worked the ninth for his 25th save.Toronto also used nine pitchers.Gibbons was ejected in the ninth after the umpires ruled Russell Martins double into the right field corner, initially ruled fair, had landed foul. Toronto challenged, but the call was confirmed. Martin later struck out.Encarnacion hit a solo home run off Buchholz in the first, singled and scored in the third, and then hit a two-run shot off Heath Hembree in the fourth. It was his fourth multihomer game of the season and No. 25 for his career. Encarnacion has 39 home runs and leads the AL with 115 RBI.After Martin walked on four pitches with the bases loaded in the fourth, Tulowitzki hammered Buchholzs first pitch for his 23rd home run.Boston tied it at 6 and chased Sanchez on a two-run single by Bogaerts, but Toronto answered with Encarnacions second homer in the bottom half.After Ramirez cut it to 8-7 with a drive to deep center in the fifth, Bostons Brock Holt tried to steal home but was thrown out by reliever Aaron Loup.TOUGH TIMES FOR MVPTorontos Josh Donaldson is hitless in seven straight games, a career-long slump. Hes 0 for 23 in that span.SEPTEMBER SPECIALAll three of Tulowitzkis career grand slams have come in September.UP NEXTRed Sox: LHP David Price (15-8, 3.87 ERA) seeks his seventh straight win as Boston returns home for a three-game series against Baltimore.
