Boston hit five homers through three innings for the first time since Sept. 8, 2009, when Dustin Pedroia led a five-homer barrage against the Orioles.

Wilyer Abreu hit a three-run homer, one of five longballs for the Boston Red Sox in a 10-2 win over the struggling Toronto Blue Jays.

If the Red Sox could draw up the ideal game, it would probably look a lot like Tuesday night’s 10-2 series opener victory in Toronto. They received seven innings from their new ace, Garrett Crochet, and finally gave him the run support he deserved.
