TORONTO (AP) \u2014 Ranger Su\u00e1rez<\/a> and Greg Weissert<\/a> combined on a two-hitter, Carlos Narv\u00e1ez<\/a> hit a solo home run and the Boston Red Sox<\/a> beat the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> 5-0 on Monday night, their third straight win and second in a row under interim manager Chad Tracy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first time this season the Red Sox have won three straight. Boston fired manager Alex Cora and five coaches<\/a> Saturday after starting 10-17.<\/p>\n

A pair of Red Sox fans sat in the front row behind the visitors’ bullpen with a sign paying tribute to Cora and coach Jason Varitek, who was reassigned within the organization. It read \u201cThanks AC-Tek. Forever our captain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Su\u00e1rez (2-2) struck out 10 and walked one, matching a season high by going eight innings. He outpitched Dylan Cease<\/a> and held the Blue Jays without a hit until Jes\u00fas S\u00e1nchez doubled down the left-field line to begin the sixth. Su\u00e1rez struck out the next two batters, then retired leadoff hitter Myles Straw<\/a> on a flyball.<\/p>\n

The left-hander set down the final nine batters he faced before Weissert finished, pitching around a two-out double in the ninth by pinch-hitter Daulton Varsho<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marcelo Mayer<\/a> had an RBI single in the fourth. Roman Anthony<\/a> drove in a run with an infield single in the fifth, and Wilyer Abreu<\/a> added an RBI double. Caleb Durbin<\/a> singled home Mayer in the sixth.<\/p>\n

Narv\u00e1ez extended Boston\u2019s season-high streak of games with at least one home run to five by hitting a two-out drive off rookie Chase Lee<\/a> in the eighth. The homer was Narv\u00e1ez\u2019s second.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox have homered seven times in the past five games after hitting five home runs in their previous 17 games.<\/p>\n

Cease (1-1) allowed four runs and seven hits in 5 2\/3 innings. He walked three and struck out five.<\/p>\n

Blue Jays<\/a> left fielder Davis Schneider<\/a> turned in the defensive play of the night, a diving catch on Jarren Duran\u2019s sinking liner<\/a> to end the sixth.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Blue Jays RHP Trey Yesavage<\/a> is expected to be activated off the injured list to make his season debut Tuesday. LHP Payton Tolle<\/a> (0-0, 1.50 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Red Sox.<\/p>\n
