BOSTON -- When Yoenis Cespedes drove the ball to deep centre field, Jemile Weeks started clapping even before he trotted home from third with the winning run. Hits with runners in scoring position are becoming routine for Bostons new slugger. Cespedes had four hits, including the game-winning single that capped a three-run 10th inning, and the Red Sox rallied to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 9-8 on Friday night. "Hes proven to us time and time again in RBI situations, hes got a knack for it," Boston manager John Farrell said. "Hes aggressive, hes strong and hes got all-field coverage." Since coming over from Oakland at the July 31 trade deadline in a deal for lefty ace Jon Lester, Cespedes has 26 RBIs in 32 games and a .421 batting average with runners in scoring position. With the bases loaded, hes 6 for 9 with 12 RBIs for the Red Sox. "Kind of like (David) Ortiz," Boston shortstop Xander Bogaerts said. "I dont know if they share tips with each other, but when he sees guys on base he just drives them in." Toronto, which lost outfielder Melky Cabrera to a season-ending pinkie injury, took an 8-6 lead in the top of the 10th. The first run scored on Dioner Navarros infield single that followed a single by Edwin Encarnacion and a double by John Mayberry Jr. Danny Valencia then hit a deep fly to right fielder Allen Craig, who caught what he thought was the third out. By the time he realized it wasnt, Mayberry was on his way to scoring all the way from second on Valencias unusual sacrifice fly. "You score those two runs in the top of the 10th there, so youre feeling really good and then bam, bam, bam, bam," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "Nine times out of 10 we win that game." In the bottom of the inning, Boston loaded the bases with none out against Casey Janssen (3-3) on singles by Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts, and a bunt single by Christian Vazquez. Will Middlebrooks singled in Betts, and Boston tied it on Dustin Pedroias sacrifice fly. Ortiz hit a soft grounder to second baseman Steve Tolleson, but his toss to second hit Middlebrooks for an error that left the bases loaded. Cespedes then connected and Weeks, who ran for Vazquez, scored easily. "I felt great," Janssen said. "I truly believed I was going to get out of it." Tommy Layne (2-1) got the win. "If you look at the last three innings, it was a wild stretch of the game," Farrell said. "More importantly is how we continued to respond." Bostons first three-run comeback tied it 6-all in the eighth after Jose Bautista and Encarnacion each reached the 30-homer mark with a two-run shot. Bautistas made it 4-3 in the sixth, and Encarnacions gave Toronto a 6-3 lead in the eighth. TRAINERS ROOM Blue Jays: Cabrera will undergo season-ending surgery next week for a broken right pinkie. He left in the sixth inning for X-rays. He appeared to injure his finger in the third when he dove back into first base while being picked off. "I wanted to finish strong and help the team get to the playoffs," he said. Red Sox: Pedroia returned to his usual No. 2 spot in the lineup after missing five games with a concussion. ... 3B Brock Holt was replaced in the top of the 10th by Middlebrooks after feeling dizzy. UP NEXT J.A. Happ (9-8) pitches for Toronto against Boston RHP Clay Buchholz (6-8) in the second game of the three-game series Saturday night. They faced each other in Toronto on Aug. 25, when Buchholz went 8 1-3 innings and Boston won 4-3 in 10 after allowing the Blue Jays to tie with three runs in the ninth. Buchholzs 10 career wins against Toronto are his most against any opponent. YOUNG BATS Red Sox rookies Betts, Bogaerts and Vazquez were 7 for 13 with four RBIs from the last three spots in the order. "We got three young guys to start something going and Im glad all of us got something done so the other guys could drive us in," Bogaerts said. LOSING LEADS Toronto led 2-0 on Adam Linds two-run single in the first and then fell behind 3-2 as Boston scored a run in each of the first three innings. Then came Bostons two three-run rallies late in the game. "We didnt give up," Bogaerts said. Custom Arizona Cardinals Jerseys .

"The future is bright," said teammate Desiree Scott. "Kadeisha Buchanan, 18-year-old, going toe-to-toe with some of the best strikers in the world and she scores a goal tonight. Unbelievable performance." Buchanan said it was a great experience to score but her work on defence was also key to keeping the Americans in check. "Defence wins games and we tried," she said of the physical way she challenged and often beat U.S. strikers such as veteran Abby Wambach as they rushed the Canadian goal. "Thats part of my element." Coach John Herdman said Canadas young back line did a great job and Buchanan has what it takes to be the best in the world at her position. "Shes the (Christine) Sinclair of defenders, shes that good" he said, referring to Canadas top forward. Buchanan scored her goal with a header off a corner kick just before the 35-minute mark of the friendly, and for 40 minutes it looked like Canada might finally beat a team they last defeated in 2001. The 18-year-old Toronto native only made her debut with the national team in January 2013 but has seen 12 starts with Lauren Sesselmann out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. Herdman said it was disappointing to come so close and not get the win but he liked what he saw of the Canadian teams development as they prepare for the 2015 Womens World Cup. American striker Sydney Leroux, who was born in Surrey, B.C., tied the game just before the 78-minute mark when she kicked Canadian defender Rebecca Quinns crossing header into the corner past goalkeeper Erin McLeod. It was the third consecutive game against Canada in which shes scored a goal. "She loves big momments and shes come through and shes been fantastic," said interim U.ddddddddddddS. coach Jill Ellis. McLeod had to make one big save early in the game off Heather OReilly and another in the second half off a header by Wambach. Then the Canadian team had to block a free kick just past the 84-minute mark that could have put the Americans in the lead. American keeper Hope Solo had her bid to tie the U.S. shutout record foiled by Buchanan. The day before the game, Herdman said the crowd could play a role. "Were not going to have 700 shots and 700 crosses, so the fans have got to be ready to really get behind us when we need (them)," he said. The crowd of 28,255 didnt disappoint. The game was also blessed with cool but dry weather, after a forecast that threatened rain, and it was the second largest crowd ever to watch a womens friendly in Canada. "You could feel the energy," said Herdman, who suggested it was a taste of what Canada will offer when it hosts the Womens World Cup next summer. Solo, who also played for the U.S. in the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg, is just one away from tying Briana Scurry for the most shutouts in the American programs history at 70. Melissa Tancredi, who rejoined the Canadian team for the first time since she returned to school a couple of years ago to finish her chiropractic studies, got some playing time late in the second half. The Winnipeg-born Scott said she was thrilled to play for the first time in front of friends and family as a member of the national team. This is her sixth year on Canadas squad. "It was exhilarating and exciting for me and it definitely drove me to give a great performance tonight," she said. Buchanan, meanwhile, is also a member of Canadas under-20 World Cup team. The under-20 World Cup starts Aug. 5 with games set to take place in Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal and Moncton. ' ' '
