The loss for the Red Sox reduced their lead over the New York Yankees to 2 1/2 games after the Yankees were 7-4 winners over the Baltimore Orioles earlier in the day. Happ who lost against the Red Sox last Wednesday after leaving the game tied at 1-1 after six innings. Boston third baseman Eduardo Nunez hit a two-run, two-out single in the second to bring the Red Sox to within one. The Jays poured it on in the sixth, starting when Ryan Goins hit a one-out single to right.
