Sox try to avoid the 3 game sweep in Toronto behind Price.
Bluejays have a no-hitter going into the 6th behind knuckle-baller RJ Dickey ... Oops there that goes as Betts leads off with a triple!
Price gave up a two-run homer in the bottom of the 5th to Joey Bats who turned on an inside fastball left up too high in the strike zone ... a towering homer into the left field foul pole netting.
Betts scored (2-1 Toronto) with 1 out and a runner (Petey) on 1st with Bogaerts battling Dickey at the plate ... base hit after about 11 pitches pushed Dickey's pitch count into the 90's now after 5 1/3 innings.
1st and 2nd with 1 out ...
Shaw at bat with Ramirez on deck ... he walks and bases are loaded.
Hanley can get retribution for the misplay yesterday that cost the Sox the loss.
And Hanley gets HBP and the game is tied! That's it for Dickey ...
Relief pitcher walks JBJ on 5 balls (1 foul tipped) ... 3-2 Sox!
New pitcher again (Chavez) with Rutledge up still only 1 out ... bases loaded ... Rutledge strikes out ... 2 away.
Vazquez is up ... down in count 0-2 ... He flies out to end the inning.
Sox lead 3-2 now going to bottom of 6th. Bottom of 6th and Price holds serve ... onto the 7th.
Hembree warming up in Sox bullpen with Price approaching 100 pitch count ...
Bogaerts up with man on 2nd and 2 outs ... he's already gotten a hit to keep his streak alive.
His last at bat he saw 11 pitches and 9 so far this at bat ... 3-2 count ... base hit but as Bogaerts beats the pitcher to 1st they get the runner from 3rd headed for home in a rundown and he's tagged out to end the threat.
Price back out for the 8th (both teams have 4 hits) ... Shaw caught the chopper but had it himself despite Price covering but he slipped on his turn to the bag and Carrera is safe at 1st.
Sacrifice bunt ... 1 out runner at 2nd.
Price is through with Batista coming up ... here comes Hembree.
Hembree strikes out Batista on an inside & up fastball that Joey couldn't hold up his swing on ... 2 outs.
Donaldson (3B) up with a 2-1 count ... tying run on 2nd.
Popped up ... nice inning by Hembree!
Sox up ... top of 8th leading 3-2 ... an insurance run would be nice but Sox go down in order.
Hembree comes out for bottom of 8th and Encarnacion takes the first offering for an upper left deck tying homerun .. Ugh!!!
3-3 nobody out ... two outs now with two runners on and Hembree's all done as we have a pitching change.
Ross comes in to preserve the tie ... facing a pinch-hitter (Martin) with Clay Buchholz warming up in the pen!
Ross ahead 0-2 just missed strike three ... gets the ground out to third to go onto the 9th.
Sox go down in order in the 9th.
Bluejays leadoff (Saunders) with a ground ball to third and thrown out ... 1 out.
Batista grounds to 3rd ... 2 out.
Donaldson gets a single and Ross loses Encarcion ... 2 out runners at 1st & 2nd.
0-2 to Paredes ... stuck out!
Top of 10th;

Bogaerts grounds out to third ... 1 out.
Shaw with a base hit ... now Ramirez ... he strikes out ... 1 on & 2 away.
JBJ up ... Shaw steals 2nd ... 2-2 on JBJ ... ball 3 ... pass ball and Shaw goes to 3rd and Bradley to 1st.
Rutledge is up (0-3 today) and you'd think Ferrell would pitch hit here ... but no and he flys out.
Ok ... Are you ready for This? Clay in to relieve in bottom of 10th!
Travis gets hit on an 0-2 count and Ferrell out to argue as it didn't look like he was hit. Under review ...
Ruled a foul ball and rightly so!
Travis back in box with an 0-2 count ... popped up ... 1 away.
Barney up (1-4) ... 2-2 ... base hit into left. 1 on and 1 out.
Pillar up ... batting .429 against Clay ... 0-2 count and he pops it up ... 2 out.
Martin now ... he strikes him out! Clay does the job ...
Top of 11th;
Floyd pitching to Hanigan ... 3-1 count ... 3-2 now with Swihart on deck ... a trickler down 3rd but Hanigan thrown out.
Swihart walks with Betts coming up ... 1 on & 1 out.
Mookie takes the count full ... Petey on deck ... pass ball and Swihart goes to 3rd with Mookie at 1st!
We have a pitching change ... Storen facing Pedroia now.
Hit & Run on but Petey fouls it and Betts back to 1st ... 1-2 as ump gets hit by the foul tip ... a deep drive that bounces over the wall for a ground rule double that could have been more but 1 in and runners at 2nd & 3rd ... 4-3.
Bogaerts now ... still 1 out ... 2-2 count ... up the middle but bobbled so Betts scores and Bogaerts out at 1st ...
2 away ... 5-3 ... Shaw up ... He flys out to end the top of the 11th ... Sox lead 5-3.
Koji in to try and save this one ... he'll face Saunders, Batista & Donaldson.
Saunders flys out ... 1 away.
Batista with a 1-2 count ... HE STRIKES HIM OUT!!! ... 2 away.
