TORONTO -- One day after promising he was "about to get hotter than Jamaica in the middle of August," David Ortiz hit two towering home runs Monday.

They were the 452nd and 453rd of his career and moved Ortiz past Boston great Carl Yastrzemski into 36th place on the all-time list. The Red Sox won their fifth straight game with a 14-1 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays.

"He's always hit well in this ballpark, and tonight was another example," Red Sox manager John Farrell said of Ortiz, whose 35 career homers at Rogers Centre are second only to Alex Rodriguez's 36.

Ortiz matched Yastrzemski with a two-run blast to center field off left-hander Brad Mills in the fourth, then broke a short-lived tie with another two-run shot off Mills in the fifth, for his 21st and 22nd homers of the season.

The slugger had little to say about his milestone homers, except, "Put it down like this: I'm on my way to Jamaica."

It was the third multihomer game of the season for Ortiz and the 44th of his career.

Ortiz's first homer ended his 0-for-18 skid against Toronto and an 0-for-11 slump overall. He went 1 for 13 in Boston's weekend sweep of Kansas City.

"He's a Hall of Famer in my eyes," said Mike Napoli, who followed Ortiz's second shot with his 12th homer, making it the fourth time this season Boston has gone back-to-back.

Stephen Drew added a three-run homer as the Red Sox connected a season-high four times and won for the eighth time in nine games.

"We're getting a good offensive approach over the last 10 games or so," Farrell said.

Dustin Pedroia was the only Boston starter without a hit, as the Red Sox set season highs in runs and hits (18). Pedroia went 0-for-4 before being replaced and is hitless in 13 at-bats.

John Lackey (11-6) allowed one run and two hits in seven innings to win his second straight start. Felix Doubront worked the eighth and Craig Breslow finished.

"It was a fun night," Lackey said. "It's kind of fun to have these every now and then."

The Red Sox took the lead with two runs in the second and added four in the third, chasing Blue Jays right-hander Drew Hutchison. Boston blew it open with two more in the fourth and six in the fifth against Mills.

"The best thing about it is it's over with," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.

Hutchison (6-9) matched a career-high with six earned runs -- the second straight outing he allowed that many -- and gave up a career-high nine hits in 2 2/3 innings, his shortest non-injury start. Hutchison, who lost for the first time in three outings against Boston, fell to 2-5 with a 7.71 ERA in eight home starts.

"He had tough time getting anything going with his breaking ball [and] spiked a lot of them," Gibbons said.

Boston's Brock Holt made the defensive play of the game by leaping into the right field wall to retire Dan Johnson for the first out of the fifth.

"This is a guy who's been an infielder his entire life, and what he's done in the outfield has been pretty remarkable," Farrell said of Holt, who came up from his highlight play with a huge smile.

"That was a pretty fun catch for me," Holt said.
