Brandon Belt hit a solo homer over the Green Monster and had a go-ahead single, George Springer went 4 for 4 and the Toronto Blue Jays held off the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Saturday for the second straight day after losing their first seven against them this season.

The game ended on a double play when Connor Wong hit a drive that Kevin Kiermaier caught at the base of the left-center field wall and fired to second to double up Reese McGuire, who had raced toward home and was standing at third, thinking the ball would be off the wall.

Rafael Devers hit his 26th homer, a long, game-tying three-run homer for Boston, which lost for the sixth time in seven games and fell into last place in the AL East. It could have been worse for the Red Sox, but Josh Winckowski entered and got Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to bounce into an inning-ending double play with the bases-loaded.Devers' shot over Toronto's bullpen erased a 3-0 deficit in the fourth after singles by Masataka Yoshida and Justin Turner

Belt homered into the second row of Monster seats off Nick Pivetta before Alejandro Kirk's RBI double and Daulton Varsho's run-scoring single.Righty Tanner Houck made a rehab start with Triple-A Worcester Saturday. It was his first time pitching in a live game since he took a liner off the face from the bat of the Yankees' Kyle Higashioka in mid-June and suffered a facial fracture.
