TORONTO (AP) — Edwin Encarnacion hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays rallied to deny Tim Wakefield his 200th career win, beating the Boston Red Sox 11-10 Wednesday night.

Toronto trailed 8-6 heading into the eighth against Daniel Bard (2-6), who opened the inning by hitting Brett Lawrie and giving up a single to Adam Loewen, the former pitcher’s first career hit. J.P. Arencibia walked before Bard struck out Dewayne Wise and caught Yunel Escobar looking. But the Blue Jays tied it when Bard issued back-to-back walks to Eric Thames and Jose Bautista.

Matt Albers came on and gave up a three-run double to Encarnacion.

Encarnacion went 2 for 4 with a sacrifice fly and matched a career-high with five RBIs.
