Lind clouted his third homer of the game and 35th of the season off Takashi Saito in the seventh, a solo shot that rang off the right-field foul pole 301 feet from home plate. The Jays' sixth homer of the game and ninth of this series put them ahead 8-2.
Lind became the first visiting player to hit three homers in a game at Fenway Park in 13 years. Frank Thomas performed the feat for the Chicago White Sox here in 1996.
It was the first time the Red Sox have given up six homers in game anywhere since 2004 in Detroit when they surrendered seven, six of them off Tim Wakefield.
