4 HRs, 12 Lester Ks lift Red Sox by Jays (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Kevin Youkilis homered twice, Dustin Pedroia hit a three-run shot and Jon Lester struck out a career-high 12 as the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-2 on Sunday. Jason Bay also homered for the Red Sox, who used a new-look lineup to shake themselves out of a recent offensive slump. Nine of Boston's 11 hits were for extra-bases.
