Wells leads Toronto's rout of Lester, Red Sox

Vernon Wells hit two home runs, Marco Scutaro added a solo shot and the Toronto Blue Jays roughed up Jon Lester in an 11-0 rout of the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.

Wells went 4-for-5 with three RBIs and scored four times to back Jesse Litsch's strong outing. He hit a two-run shot off Lester in the first inning and a solo drive in the fifth for his team-leading 12th homer.

It was Wells' first multihomer game this season and the 17th of his career.

A three-time Gold Glove winner, Wells also made a pair of fine catches, both on drives by Jason Bay. Wells ended the third by racing back to the warning track to make an over-the-shoulder, bobbling catch, then ranged into deep left-center to deny Bay again in the sixth.
