TORONTO -- Rajai Daviss speed was the undoing of the Boston Red Sox. Davis led off the 10th inning with a double and then scored on Brett Lawries hard hit to shortstop Stephen Drew as the Toronto Blue Jays snapped a three-game slide with a 4-3 win on Wednesday over Boston. "I was just looking to put it in play because I knew (Davis) was at third base and any ball you can put in play you know hes going to have a good chance to score," said Lawrie. "I choked up a bit and just tried to put it in play as best I could and ended up stinging it better than I thought I was going to." It was the second time in the game where Daviss speed on the basepaths earned Toronto (55-65) a run. The centre-fielder opened scoring in the third when he hit a sharp single to Bostons Jon Lester, where the pitcher fumbled the ball. Lesters throw to first went past Mike Napoli, letting Davis round second. Boston right-fielder Shane Victorino threw to third but the ball bounced off Davis and into foul territory, allowing the speedy Blue Jay to sprint home. "I was hoping I could just get to first. They made an errant throw and after that I just went to run," said Davis. "Honestly, I didnt know where the ball was. I heard our third-base coach (Luis) Rivera saying go, go, go! "OK, Im gone." Lester said that Daviss speed can generate errors because it makes defences hurry. "Obviously his speed makes you rush a little bit," the Red Sox starter said. "It would have been nice to keep him on third right there. The ball takes a bad hop and hits off him and scores the run." Davis went 3-for-5 and Edwin Encarnacion hit two doubles and scored a run for the Blue Jays. Esmil Rogers (3-7) pitched six innings with six strikeouts, five hits and an earned run. Reliever Brett Cecil ruined Rogers chance at a victory though, blowing Torontos 3-1 lead in the ninth inning. Brad Lincoln pitched an inning and a third in relief to earn the win for Toronto. Rogers, who started the season in the bullpen, was likely going to return to reliever duties after Wednesdays start. His strong performance against the Red Sox earned him a reprieve, however. "He was on the plate, he was making good pitches," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. "It all comes down to putting the ball in a good spot. He was popping it pretty good tonight too, keeping it down. "We cant put him in the pen after that, can we?" Designated hitter David Ortiz hit a home run for Boston (72-50), while Lester (10-7) gave up three runs -- two earned -- and fanned three hitters over six and a third innings of work. Brandon Workman (3-2) pitched three innings for the Red Sox and took the loss. Davis drew cheers when he led off the bottom of the 10th with his second double of the game. He then advanced to third base on Jose Bautistas groundout to short. Workman intentionally walked Encarnacion to put runners on the corners. With Lawrie at the plate, Encarnacion stole second. Lawrie then hit a sharp single off Drews glove to drive home Davis and end the game. "Kind of unfortunate, I thought I had a bead on it and at the very end it started taking off on me," said Drew. "It hit the very end of the web. At first off the bat, I thought I might be able to catch it out of the air real quick, but there was no shot. " The Blue Jays added to their 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth. Encarnacion hit a double up the third-base line and was driven in when Mark DeRosa hit a double to shallow right field. Both teams stranded runners in scoring position in the fifth inning, maintaining the Blue Jays 2-0 lead. Ortiz pulled Boston to within one on his home run to deep right field in the sixth inning. Encarnacion hit a second double to lead off the bottom of the sixth, and Lawrie reached first after being hit by a pitch. Encarnacion was moved to third when DeRosa grounded into a double play. J.P. Arencibia then doubled off the left-field wall to make it 3-1 for Toronto. Reliever Neil Wagner took the mound for the Blue Jays in the seventh, quickly retiring three Red Sox hitters. Boston manager John Farrell pulled Lester in the seventh in favour of Workman, who was dialled in for his first two innings of work. Wagner continued his efficient pitching in the eighth, retiring three Boston batters in quick succession. The right-handed pitcher threw two scoreless innings with three strikeouts. Workman was also effective for the Red Sox, striking out Encarnacion and getting Lawrie to fly out to right field. Adam Lind pinch hit for DeRosa, drawing a walk. The inning ended when Arencibia struck out swinging. Cecil took the mound in the ninth and his first out was gifted to him when Ortiz -- not known for his speed -- tried to beat out a defensive shift by bunting. The lumbering DH was thrown out at first by Arencibia. Jonny Gomes reached base when he was hit by a pitch, but Cecil settled down to fan Drew. Napoli drove the ball over the right-field fence for a two-run shot and tied the game 3-3 with two out in the ninth. Cecil unravelled after that, giving up a double to Jarrod Saltalamacchia with Will Middlebrooks reaching first after being hit by a pitch. Cecil was pulled in favour of Lincoln after giving up a single to Jacoby Ellsbury. Lincoln got the Blue Jays out of the inning when Victorino flied out to left field. Lincoln stayed on the mound for the 10th, with Pedroia reaching base on Lawries fielding error to start the inning. After Ortiz flew out to left, Lincoln struck out Gomes and got Napoli to ground out to third, setting the stage for Lawries game-winning hit. Notes: Munenori Kawasaki and Kevin Pillar were called up from triple-A Buffalo to take the places of utility player Emilio Bonifacio and centre-fielder Colby Rasmus on the roster. Bonifacio was traded to Kansas City earlier in the day for a player to be named later or cash, while Rasmus was placed on the 15-day disabled list. Pillar went 0 for 4 in his major league debut.

Three came down to the fourth quarter while quarterbacks continued to shine in all four games; so important to the overall quality of the game.Peter Eriksson is returning to Athletics Canada. The 60-year-old Swede stepped down as head coach of British Athletics on Wednesday, and while he says he doesnt have any plans, sources told The Canadian Press he will be named the new head coach at Athletics Canada. Erikssons resignation from British Athletics comes just seven months after he took the job. He has lived in Canada since the 1980s and his wife and four daughters have remained there since he took over from Charles van Commenee following last years London Olympics. "This is a big disappointment but it could not have been foreseen six months ago, and Peter has been open with us on the personal challenges he faces," said performance director Neil Black, who will fill Erikssons role ahead of the world championships in Moscow in August. Eriksson, who will leave at the end of June, says "there is no bigger job in athletics anywhere in the world. At present I have no plans, but accept that if I am to take any other job in sport it will be a step down.&quuot; When contacted by The Canadian Press, Athletics Canada denied that Eriksson has been hired.dddddddddddd Born in Stockholm, the former speedskater moved to Canada in 1987 and became a highly regarded wheelchair racing coach. He was named Athletics Canadas coach of the year in 2008 after helping wheelchair racer Chantal Petitclerc to five gold medals and three world records at the Beijing Paralympics. Before taking the head coach position in Britain, Eriksson spent four years as the coach of Britains Paralympic team. Britains Paralympic medal haul rose from 17 in Beijing to 29 in London, 11 of which were gold. Athletics Canada cleaned house in January, firing head coach Alex Gardiner and chief high performance officer Martin Goulet following Canadas disappointing performance in London. The organization named Scott MacDonald its new high performance director in March. Canada had set a target of three athletics medals in London but fell short, coming away with just one -- Derek Drouins bronze in high jump. ' ' '
