BOSTON — Blue Jays outfielder Derek Fisher hit two home runs as Toronto rallied for an 8-6 win over the Boston Red Sox in the exhibition opener for both teams on Tuesday.
Fisher's second homer, a two-run shot off Ryan Brasier in the ninth, broke a 6-6 tie.
The Jays tied it earlier in the ninth on an errant pickoff attempt at first, allowing Rowdy Tellez to score from third following his leadoff double.
Rafael Dolis picked up the save for Toronto.
Blue Jays starter Nate Pearson was roughed up in the first inning.
Pearson, considered one of the top prospects in baseball, settled down after giving up four runs in the first.
