BOSTON (AP) -- The Toronto Blue Jays won their 11th straight game to tie the team record, routing the Boston Red Sox 13-5 Sunday as Ryan Goins homered, doubled and drove in five runs.
Danny Valencia also homered as the highest-scoring club in the majors completed a sweep at Fenway Park and sent Boston to its season-worst sixth straight loss.
This is the fourth time Toronto has won 11 in a row, most recently in 2013. The Blue Jays can set the team mark Monday night when star shortstop Jose Reyes returns to Citi Field to play the New York Mets.
 
Blue Jays win 11th straight to tie team record, rout Red Sox 13-5
 
Goins' three-run homer capped a six-run fourth inning as the Blue Jays roughed up rookie Eduardo Rodriguez (2-1).
According to research provided by the Red Sox, Rodriguez was the first pitcher in major league history to go six or more innings and not allow more than one run or three hits in each of his first three starts.
Marco Estrada (4-3) gave up five runs in five innings.
David Ortiz hit a three-run homer for Boston, which fell 10 games under .500.
Toronto opened a 10-0 lead in the fifth. Chris Colabello had a RBI single and Russell Martin chased Rodriguez with a run-scoring double, with Red Sox fans booing when left fielder Hanley Ramirez misplayed a carom in the corner.
Valencia then hit reliever Steven Wright's first pitch completely over the Green Monster seats.
The Red Sox answered with five in the bottom of the inning. Pedroia and Ramirez had RBI singles before Ortiz homered.
Goins' two-run double came in a three-run seventh.
