The Blue Jays scored 112 runs in their last 16 games in May - an average of seven per game - and had no problems erasing a 6-0 deficit in this one. Each starter had at least two hits with the exception of right fielder Reed Johnson and second baseman Orlando Hudson.

Roy Halladay (7-2) was the chief beneficiary, winning his seventh straight start despite giving up seven runs and 10 hits in 6 2/3 innings. Roger Clemens was the last Blue Jay to win as many consecutive starts, capturing eight straight in 1997.

The loss was the fifth in a row for the Red Sox, who banged out 14 hits, including eight doubles.

David Ortiz had three hits and three RBI and Manny Ramirez also had three hits and drove in two runs.

It was Toronto's first three-game sweep of the Red Sox at SkyDome since June 23-25, 2000.
