Troy Glaus got the Jays on the board with a solo homer and Aaron Hill tied the game with a two-run shot, but McGowan and reliever Brian Tallet let Boston take the game back in the sixth.

Ortiz, Hinske, 'Tek go deep

By Ian Browne / MLB.com

Daisuke Matsuzaka didn't have his best stuff, but the Red Sox offense made sure it didn't matter. David Ortiz homered in the first inning and Eric Hinske in the fourth, and after Dice-K let the Blue Jays tie the game, the bats came through in the sixth inning, scoring five runs to secure the victory.
