Boston, Sept. 29: Adam Lind had three home runs and four RBI Tuesday to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to an 8-7 win over the Boston Red Sox.

The Red Sox could have clinched the American League wild-card berth with a win, as their magic number is one.

Lind had his first career three-homer game, hitting one in the first, fifth and seventh innings. Jose Bautista and Aaron Hill also homered and Kevin Millar went 3-for-4 with an RBI for Toronto, which has won five in a row and eight of nine.

Ricky Romero (13-9) got the win after limiting the Red Sox to two runs on seven hits in five innings.

Clay Buchholz (7-4) took the loss after giving up seven runs on eight hits in five innings.

St. Petersburg, Fla. July 8: Ben Zobrist's fourth RBI of the game, coming on a two-out single in the ninth inning Wednesday, lifted Tampa Bay to a wild 10-9 win over Toronto.

The Rays twice let a three-run lead get away before coming through in the ninth, winning their second straight on the heels of a four-game losing streak.

Tampa Bay blew a 5-2 lead when Toronto scored three times in the fourth, but the Rays came back in their half of the fourth with a three-run homer from Zobrist.

The Rays were in front 9-6 going into the seventh, only to have Scott Rolen, Kevin Millar and Alex Rios drive in runs to again tie it up.

MLB: Toronto 8, Texas 7 (11 innings)

Toronto -- A deep drive to left-center by Kevin Millar with none out in the 11th brought home Vernon Wells from third Wednesday, delivering Toronto an 8-7 win over Texas.

The Blue Jays let a three-run lead get away in the ninth inning, but eventually scored the game winner against Darren O'Day (0-1), who came to the Rangers this week from the New York Mets on a waiver claim.

Making his first appearance alongside players he had barely had time to meet, O'Day walked Wells to open the 11th. Travis Snider sacrificed Wells to second and Scott Rolen was intentionally walked before Millar lined a shot into the gap for what was officially recorded as a single.
