TORONTO -- Mike Napoli hit a mammoth three-run homer into the upper deck and Allen Craig added a two-run shot as the Boston Red Sox scored seven in the 11th inning to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 11-7 on Tuesday night. NHL Jerseys From China . It was the fourth straight extra-innings game for the Jays -- and sixth in their last seven home contests (3-3). Their season record in extra innings dropped to 4-6. But this one turned into a rout rather than a slim win although the Jays answered with three runs in their half of the 11th. Mookie Betts opened the Boston half of the 11th with a single off Casey Janssen (3-2). Betts was called out at second when Christian Vasquez bunted the ball to Janssen but the call was overturned after a 76-second review. Janssen then mishandled Brock Holts sacrifice bunt to load the bases, setting the stage for Dustin Pedroias two-run single. Sergio Santos, the Jays seventh pitcher on the night, took over for Janssen and, one out later, gave up the 17th fifth-deck homer in the history of the Rogers Centre. Napolis blast to left field was his 16th homer of the season. After Daniel Nava doubled, Craig hit his eighth homer of the season to right field. Toronto threw in the towel, sending in infielder Steve Tolleson to pitch. Throwing in the low 70s m.p.h., Tolleson somehow managed to staunch the wound by striking out Will Middlebrooks and inducing Betts to fly out at the warning track. Pedroia, with his second two-run home run in as many nights after an 18-game drought, also homered for Boston in the first inning. Showing his full arsenal, Tolleson singled in the bottom half of the 11th. Dioner Navarros double and Danny Valencias single with two out cut the lead to 11-7. The Jays outhit Boston 15-14 in a game that took four hours 33 minutes. Junichi Tazawa (3-3), the seventh pitcher for the Red Sox, got the win. Torontos record in August dropped to 6-16 while Boston notched its second straight win after snapping an eight-game slide Monday night to open the series. The Jays came into the game having lost nine of their last 12 and 11 of their last 16. Toronto (66-66) has now lost six of eight series (1-6-1) dating back to July 31. The Jays were last at .500 on May 15 when they were 21-21. Toronto had a chance to end it in the bottom of the ninth. Adam Lind doubled off the centre field fence with two out, giving way to pinch runner Tolleson. Boston intentionally walked Edwin Encarnacion. But pinch hitter Navarro struck out against Edward Mujica. Reliever Aaron Sanchez, the loser in a 4-3 extra-innings Red Sox win Monday night, kept the Jays alive by striking out Napoli in the top of the ninth to strand Boston runners on first and second after a single, forceout and infield single. The Jays rallied from 3-0 and 4-3 deficits before a crowd of 27,321 at Rogers Centre. Janssen, who has had his problems of late, pitched a 1-2-3 10th inning with two strikeouts. The Jays had a man on second with two outs in their half of the 10th but couldnt cash in newly recalled Kevin Pillar. Jose Bautista ended his 0-for-17 slump with a solo home run -- his 25th homer of the season -- to left centre off reliever Alex Wilson to open the Toronto half of the seventh and tie the score at 4-4. The homer was just the Jays 11th of the month. Encarnacion, whose ninth-inning double just missed flying over the fence on Monday night, flied out to the left-field warning track later in the seventh inning after Bautistas long ball. For the second night in a row, Toronto fought back from a 3-0 deficit although this time they didnt wait until the ninth inning. And for the second night in a row, Bostons Yoenis Cespedes singled in a run to make it 4-3 although he did it in the seventh inning instead of the 10th. The Cuban outfielder, with his 87th RBI, chased Toronto reliever Dustin McGowan after just one out. Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, who had won all three previous starts against Boston this season, went up against Bostons Rubby (pronounced Ruby) De La Rosa, who lost his two previous starts against the Jays this season. The two starters were operating in vastly different neighbourhoods with De La Rosas fastball reaching 97 m.p.h. while Dickey throwing mostly in the 70s. That was good news for Red Sox DH Napoli, who was hit on the head with a 77 m.p.h. knuckleball that sent his helmet flying. It was a rocky start for Dickey who saw Pedroia deposit his eighth delivery of the night into the second deck in left field for a two-run homer. Dickey struck out leadoff hitter Holt but catcher Josh Thole could not handle the ball and Holt made it to first base on the passed ball. Pedroias seventh homer of the season marked the seventh straight game the opposition has scored first against the Jays. There was more to come in the first. Middlebrooks two-out RBI double made it 3-0 and it could have been worse had Craig not been thrown out at home trying to score from first. Dickey threw 28 pitches in the first. Toronto left men on first and third in the first inning after opening with back-to-back Jose Reyes and Melky Cabrera singles. With men on second and third and no outs, Cabreras groundout put Toronto on the board in the third inning while earning the left-fielder his 70th RBI of the season. But two fly balls ended the threat. Munenori Kawasaki narrowed the deficit to 3-2 with a two-out RBI single in the fourth inning as De La Rosa struggled with his control, issuing back-to-back walks with one out. Still Toronto stranded men on first and third again in the inning. Toronto tied it in the fifth with Cabrera scoring on Encarnacions fielders choice with two out, signalling the end of De La Rosa. The inning was kept alive by a fielding miscue but Toronto managed to once again leave runners on the corners. De La Rosa went 4 2/3 innings, living dangerously most of the way. He gave up three runs on seven hits with a pair of walks, throwing 99 pitches including 61 strikes. Dickey went six innings, settling down after a bumpy beginning. He conceded three runs on five hits with two walks and six strikeouts. He threw 107 pitches, 67 for strikes The Jays started Pillar in centre field in place of Colby Rasmus, said to be under the weather. Red Sox slugger David Ortiz, hit by pitches on the elbow and foot on the weekend, was given the night off for the second day in a row. Despite daytime temperatures hovering near 30 degrees Celsius (with Humidex values near 40) and a severe thunderstorm watch, the Rogers Centre roof was open -- with the south panel closed to start the game.

In fact the scariest thing this Halloween season has been the play of Eli Manning and his teammates. A Giants team which actually placed a Super Bowl countdown clock in their own locker room and fancied themselves as a legitimate title contender is now at 0-5 a scant five weeks into the season as they prepare to take on the Chicago Bears on Thursday night. Hindsight now says the Giants dream of playing in another Big Game in their own backyard was nothing more than a fairytale, derailed by a perfect storm of injury and ineptitude that has engulfed "Big Blue" and head coach Tom Coughlin. By the end of the Giants latest collapse, an ugly 36-21 setback to lightly regarded NFC East division rival Philadelphia last Sunday at MetLife Stadium, even the North Jersey faithful recognized just how bad things had gotten, serenading its former heroes off the turf with a healthy chorus of boos. "There are only two ways to finish out this season," said veteran defensive lineman Justin Tuck. "Figuring out some kind of way to right this ship and get some positive momentum going here. Or you can sulk and feel sorry for yourself and have the worst season ever in Giants history." New York is 0-5 for the first time since the strike-shortened 1987 season after committing four turnovers that were converted into 17 Eagles points. The Giants now have a league-high 20 giveaways through five games, including 12 Manning interceptions after the struggling quarterback was picked off three times in the fourth quarter against Philly. "Offensively, we just have to take care of the ball better. Its as simple as that," said wide receiver Victor Cruz. "We make plays when we have the ball in our hands and we are pitching and catching, moving the ball up the field. When we turn the ball over, thats when things go awry." The injury-riddled Giants also saw another key player go down against the Eagles when running back David Wilson exited in the first quarter with a neck injury. Wilson has already been ruled out for the Bears. Manning did accumulate 334 yards against Philly despite completing just 24- of-52 attempts and he hit Rueben Randle for a pair of touchdowns in the second half. Hakeem Nicks racked up 142 yards on nine catches in the setback, while Randle put up 96 yards on six grabs. The Bears, meanwhile, are also scuffling a bit, dropping two straight games after a 3-0 start. The latest setback came in the Second City on Sunday when Garrett Hartley booted four field goals and Drew Brees threw for 288 yards and two touchdowns as the New Orleans Saints remained perfect with a 26-18 decision over Chicago. Alshon Jeffery led the way with a franchise-record 218 yards and a touchdown on 10 catches for the Bears. Jay Cutler finished 24-of-33 for 358 yards and had another scoring pass to Brandon Marshall, while Matt Forte totaled 55 yards on 12 carries in defeat. "Against a team like that, the way they played offensively and ate up the clock its hard to rebound if you miss three or four plays in the game," Cutler admitted. This will be the 49th regular season meeting between the Giants and Bears with Chicago holding a 27-19-2 advantage. The Giants have won two straight in the series, however, and their last four at Soldier Field. WHAT TO WATCH FOR This is already the Giants worst start in a non-strike-shortened season since 1979 when Joe Pisarcik kicked off that campaign at quarterback for Ray Perkins until the coach pulled the plug and went to rookie Phil Simms, a move that eventually jump-started the franchise and returned it to relevancy. Barring a hiccup here and there, New York has remained competitive ever since, punctuated by its four Super Bowl championships after the 1986, 1990, 2007 and 2011 seasons. Cheap NHL Jerseys China. Another Super Bowl berth is a non-starter now. Since the NFL changed to the current playoff format in 1990, no team has started 0-5 and made it to the postseason. So, perhaps the Giants new goal should be avoiding the franchise- worst 0-9 start of the 1976 team. "Im always going to come out here fighting," safety Antrel Rolle said. "I dont care if we are 0-15. We just need to pick it up. We need to pick it up. Get our head out of our (behind) and pick it up. Thats the reality of it. We are losing games around here and thats not Giants football we are playing." "For us, were not even thinking about the playoffs now," linebacker Spencer Paysinger added. "Right now we are 0-5 and looking for our first win, hopefully coming on Thursday." Things have gotten so bleak that Coughlin, the two-time Super Bowl winning coach, finally pointed the finger of blame at his two-time big game quarterback Manning. "I honestly believe that hes trying so hard to get us a win, hes almost put too much on himself," Coughlin said. "He keeps it all pretty much inside. Im not making excuses. There were a couple of those plays that were terrible." As mentioned Manning threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter versus the Eagles and he is now on pace to give it away 38 times, an almost laughably inefficient performance considering all the changes to the game in recent years that have favored the offense, particularly the passing game. An NFL signal caller hasnt tossed 30-or-more interceptions in a season since 1988, when Vinny Testaverde had 35 for the Buccaneers. Again, though, that was an era when defenses were actually allowed to do some things without seeing yellow -- or last week, pink -- littering the field. To be fair to Manning his offensive line has been awful for most of the season and the running game non-existent. The two-time Super Bowl MVP has completed just 53.7 percent of his passes and been sacked 15 times while New York averages an NFL-low 56.8 rushing yards per game. "Were throwing the ball a lot and were obviously low on running backs right now," Manning said. "I thought we left some plays out there, some balls down the field. I missed a couple -- a couple that were very close to being made. We just have to keep finding ways to make those plays. You dont get a whole lot of second chances in this league." Even with the obvious deficiencies, second chances shouldnt be needed with weapons on the outside like Cruz, Nicks and the emerging Randle. In fact, its hard to buy into the narrative that Manning is trying to lead the Little Sisters of the Poor. "I know I can play better," Manning understated. "Sometimes, things are going to go wrong, but youve got to make the best decision. Throw it away, take a sack. I know I cant keep turning the ball over." The football gods are more than a little ironic, however, and Mannings next test will be in Chicago after a short week of preparation against the NFLs most opportunistic defense. The Bears "D" has 10 interception-return touchdowns since the start of the 2012 season -- the most in the NFL -- and has scored three defensive touchdowns so this season. Chicago failed to take it away against New Orleans for the first time in 11 games but is still third in the NFL with 14 takeaways. "We have to stay positive," Manning said. "We have a short week and we play on Thursday night, so weve just got to keep working and Ive got to start playing better football and making better throws, and putting our team in a better situation to win some games."
