Jays starter Boyd leaves without recording an out

TORONTO (AP) Blue Jays starter Matt Boyd didn't record an out in his second big league start Thursday, leaving after the first seven Red Sox batters reached safely in the first inning.

Boyd allowed seven runs and six hits, including back-to-back homers by David Ortiz and Hanley Ramirez. He was replaced by Liam Hendriks after walking Mike Napoli.

Hendriks didn't help out his teammate, giving up a two-run triple to the first batter he faced, Alejandro De Aza.

The Red Sox sent 12 men to the plate and scored eight runs on nine hits, both season highs for a single inning. It was the most runs allowed by Toronto in one inning this season.

Boyd, who gave up three home runs to Texas in his big league debut last Saturday, saw his ERA rise from 5.40 to 14.85.
