Photo: Thomas, McGowan sink Red Sox in Toronto »
September 17, 2007
TORONTO -- Frank Thomas hit three home runs, the second three-homer game of his career against Boston, and Dustin McGowan pitched a complete-game five-hitter, with no walks and nine strikeouts, as the Blue Jays rolled to a 6-1 victory over the Red Sox Monday night.
Thomas' first home run, a two-run shot with two outs in the first off Tim Wakefield (16-11), put Toronto ahead to stay. Mike Lowell doubled home the only Boston run in the fourth inning, cutting the lead to 2-1, but a fielder's-choice grounder by Vernon Wells, who barely beat the throw to first that would have resulted in an inning-ending double play, made it 3-1 in the fourth.
Thomas homered off Wakefield in the sixth, and added a two-run shot off Kyle Snyder in the eighth.
