Trevor Story's groundout to second in the 10th inning drove in David Hamilton with the game-winning run as the Boston Red Sox earned a 4-3 victory over the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday.
George Springer's sacrifice fly in the top of the 10th scored Andres Gimenez to give the Blue Jays a 3-2 lead, but Jarren Duran led off the bottom of the inning with an RBI single that scored Blake Sabol to tie the game at 3.
Toronto reliever Nick Sandlin (0-2) gave up two hits and hit two batters in the 10th before Story came to the plate with one out and the bases loaded.
The victory gave Boston its only win in the four-game series. Toronto prevailed 6-2 Monday, 6-1 Tuesday and 2-1 Wednesday.
Boston's Brennan Bernardino (1-0) got the win despite allowing a run in the 10th - his only inning on the mound.
Boston starting pitcher Walker Buehler tossed 6 1/3 innings. He allowed a run on four hits, struck out seven and walked one.
Story, Duran and Rafael Devers each had two hits for the Red Sox. Tyler Heineman collected three of Toronto's eight hits.
Toronto starter Chris Bassitt exited the mound with two on and two outs in the sixth. He gave up one run on five hits, struck out five and walked one.
The game was scoreless until the bottom of the sixth, when Duran walked, stole second, moved to third on a Devers fly ball to right and scored on Alex Bregman's two-out single.
The Blue Jays took the lead by scoring twice in the seventh. After Heineman's single drove in Will Wagner to make it 1-1, Myles Straw scored on Story's throwing error when the Red Sox were trying to complete what would have been an inning-ending double play.
Rob Refsnyder made it a 2-2 contest when he scored from third on a Yimi Garcia wild pitch with two outs in the eighth.
