BUFFALO, N.Y. - Hunter Renfroe hit a grand slam, Kiké Hernández drove in three runs with two homers and the Boston Red Sox snapped a two-game losing streak with a 13-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night.

Rookie Jarren Duran hit his first major league homer, Dylan Santana and Rafael Devers also went yard, and J.D. Martinez broke out of a slump with four hits as the Red Sox improved their AL-leading road record to 29-19.

Toronto used eight pitchers and had its five-game win streak halted.

Blue Jays starter Ross Stripling gave up six runs on four hits and two walks while getting only one out in his first appearance this season that didn’t extend into at least the fourth inning.

Cavan Biggio homered for the Blue Jays during a four-run rally in the fourth inning. Teoscar Hernandez, Randal Grichuk and Bo Bichette also drove in runs.

With the win, the Giants expanded their lead to two games over the defending World Series champion Dodgers.

Carlson and Paul Goldschmidt hit home runs in the sixth, the fourth time this season the Cardinals hit back-to-back homers.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Ramón Laureano hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning as Oakland got on the board once Shohei Ohtani left the mound and beat Los Angeles.

All-Star Matt Olson hit his team-leading 24th homer in the eighth for Oakland.

The A’s managed just three hits through Ohtani’s six innings, but Cole Irvin (7-8) hung tough shutting down the Los Angeles lineup over seven scoreless innings.

Brandon Marsh hit an RBI single in the ninth against Lou Trivino, who finished for a two-inning save.

ASTROS 4, INDIANS 3

HOUSTON (AP) — Yordan Alvarez snapped an 0-for-22 slump with a two-run homer, helping Houston beat Cleveland.

The Rangers have lost six straight, the last three by a combined score of 29-0.

CHICAGO (AP) — Rookie Gavin Sheets hit a game-ending three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh, giving Chicago split in a doubleheader with Minnesota.

Minnesota won the opener in eight innings, but the White Sox avoided a sweep when Sheets turned on a 3-1 fastball from Twins ace José Berrios and drove it deep to right for his fifth home run. Berrios (7-4) entered the seventh having allowed only two hits — solo shots by José Abreu and Yoán Moncada — before Brian Goodwin led off with a single and Berrios hit Andrew Vaughn with a pitch.

A wild pitch moved the runners up, then Sheets connected to win the game for Chicago.
