TORONTO (AP) — No. 9 hitter Jason Varitek homered and drove in four runs to lead the Boston Red Sox's 16-4 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League on Saturday.
John Lackey (4-5) delivered six strong innings in his second start since going on the disabled list, striking out a season-high eight.
David Oritz hit a three-run homer and Dustin Pedroia drove in three runs as Boston amassed 18 hits. The Red Sox batted around twice and every starter drove in at least one run in piling up the most runs allowed by the Blue Jays this season.

At New York, Alex Rodriguez was hit by a pitch after he homered and Bartolo Colon pitched two-hit ball into the seventh inning before he hurt himself in New York's win.
Curtis Granderson hit his 20th homer of the season and Rodriguez got plunked by Cleveland starter Mitch Talbot a day after the teams' benches cleared, adding another chapter to what has been a testy homestand for the Yankees.
It was the sixth time a Yankees batter has been hit this homestand. Talbot was ejected.
The Yankees said Colon (5-3) strained his left hamstring. He struck out six over 6 2-3 innings to win for the third straight start.
