Blue Jays survive 9th inning, win in 10th to sweep Red Sox

Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano pitched his way out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the ninth inning at Fenway Park.

Then he had to shut the Red Sox down one more time.

"I kind of tried to erase what happened the last inning, because it was a lot of adrenaline," he said after leading Toronto to a 6-5 win over Boston in 10 innings on Thursday night. "You had to stay focused. We've got three more hitters coming up and like, let's win a game."

One night after earning a save in an extra-inning victory over Boston, Romano (5-3) picked up the win to seal Toronto's three-game sweep. The Blue Jays, who took three out of four against the AL East-leading Yankees to start the week, have won eight straight games at Fenway Park this year.

The Red Sox had a runner on third with nobody out in the eighth and then loaded the bases against Romano with no outs in the ninth, and both times failed to score.

In the 10th, automatic runner Cavan Biggio took third on a groundout and then rushed home on George Springer's grounder to short, sliding head-first under the tag with the throw from Xander Bogaerts coming in too high.
