BOSTON -- Normally the ultimate innings-eater, Rick Porcello didn't live up to his reputation on Friday night at Fenway Park, not even when the Red Sox gave him a generous offensive cushion early on.
Porcello was uncharacteristically off during a 13-7 loss to the Blue Jays that snapped Boston's winning streak at 10 games.
Boston did maintain its 3 1/2-game lead in the American League East, thanks to the Yankees losing in Cleveland.
In his shortest start since July 29, 2015, Porcello (11-4) went just two-plus innings, getting tagged for seven hits and eight runs.
