Smoak hits 2 homers, Jays rout Red Sox 11-2 on Canada Day

TORONTO (AP) Justin Smoak homered from both sides of the plate, Mark Buehrle won his fourth straight decision and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Red Sox 11-2 on Wednesday, ending Boston's winning streak at three.

Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion and Josh Donaldson all connected and Jose Reyes had four hits as the Blue Jays scored more runs than they had in their previous four games combined, giving a Canada Day crowd of 45,392 plenty to cheer about.

Buehrle (9-4) allowed one run and four hits in seven innings. He hasn't lost since May 23 against Seattle.

Encarnacion hit a three-run homer off Rick Porcello in the first and Smoak added a two-run drive into the second deck in right.
