07/10/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Gonzalez clubbed a two-run homer and added an RBI double, as the Toronto Blue Jays defeated Boston, 9-5, in the middle installment of a three-game set at Rogers Centre.
Jose Bautista blasted his MLB-best 24th home run of the season -- a solo shot in the eighth inning -- for the Blue Jays, who had dropped seven home games in a row to the Red Sox.
Kevin Gregg recorded the final out in the eighth and pitched a spotless ninth for his 20th save.
Shawn Camp (3-1) gained the win after striking out three batters in 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of starter Brandon Morrow, who gave up five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits over four full frames.
Daniel Nava hit a two-run double for Boston, which snapped a four-game losing streak with a resounding 14-3 triumph in Friday's series opener.
John Lackey (9-5) allowed seven runs on eight hits and walked six in 4 2/3 innings to absorb the loss.
Boston picked up a run in the first inning on a bases-loaded walk to J.D. Drew, but the Blue Jays answered in their first turn at the plate.
Fred Lewis and Gonzalez hit consecutive doubles to start the bottom of the first, and back-to-back walks to Bautista and Vernon Wells loaded the bases with the tying run already in.
Adam Lind followed with a single to center field to score Gonzalez. Another run came home when Aaron Hill reached on a force out. The bases were reloaded on a base hit by Lyle Overbay, but Lackey escaped further damage by getting Edwin Encarnacion to pop out to first base and retiring Jose Molina on a fly ball to center.
Toronto's lead quickly evaporated as Nava and David Ortiz each doubled in a three-run second for the Red Sox. Marco Scutaro singled home another run for the visitors to make it 5-3 in the third.
The Blue Jays, though, tied it in the fourth when Lewis led off with a walk and scored on Gonzalez's 17th home run of the season, a line-drive smash over the left-field wall.
Toronto pulled ahead in the next inning. Hill started the fifth with a double and Overbay drew a walk. Lackey struck out Encarnacion and both runners moved up on a wild pitch before Molina lined out sharply to third. Lewis checked his swing and cued a double down the left-field line past a diving Adrian Beltre, giving the Blue Jays a 7-5 lead.
The Red Sox threatened in the top of the sixth, placing runners at second and third with two out, but Toronto reliever Jason Frasor got his team out of trouble with a groundout from Beltre.
Lind then homered to left off Dustin Richardson in the bottom of the inning to increase the advantage to three runs.
Game Notes
Boston center fielder Mike Cameron and Red Sox manager Terry Francona were ejected in the top of the seventh for arguing balls and strikes...The six walks issued by Lackey were a season-high...Toronto pitchers hit four batters...The Red Sox finished 4-for-15 with runners in scoring position and left 12 men on base.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year
Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.
Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.
With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.
Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.
Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
