TORONTO (AP) — David Price did not allow any earned runs over five innings in his return from the injured list, and the Boston Red Sox hit four home runs in a 12-2 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday.
A 33-year-old left-hander, Price had not pitched since May 2 because of left elbow tendinitis.
Price (2-2) allowed three hits, struck out four and walked none, throwing 67 pitches.
Toronto scored twice in the second to tie the game after second baseman Michael Chavis allowed Billy McKinney’s two-hop grounder to bounce out of his glove for an error with one out.
