TORONTO -- Blue Jays starter Matt Boyd didn't record an out in his second big league start Thursday, leaving after the first seven Boston Red Sox batters reached safely in the first inning of their 12-6 win.
Boyd allowed seven runs and six hits, including back-to-back homers by David Ortiz and Hanley Ramirez. He was replaced by Liam Hendriks after walking Mike Napoli.
"They were hitting everything he threw up there," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.
Hendriks didn't help out his teammate, giving up a two-run triple to the first batter he faced, Alejandro De Aza.
The Red Sox sent 12 men to the plate and scored eight runs on eight hits, both season highs for a single inning. It was the most runs allowed by Toronto in one inning this season.
Leadoff man Mookie Betts had two hits before Boston starter Wade Miley threw a pitch.
"What Mookie, Brock and Bogie were able to do tonight certainly set the tone for us offensively," manager John Farrell said.
Boyd, who gave up three home runs to Texas in his big league debut Saturday, saw his ERA rise from 5.40 to 14.85.
"Count on me learning from this and being better from this," Boyd said. "It won't happen again."
Boyd was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo after the game, while reliever Todd Redmond was designated for assignment. The Blue Jays will make corresponding moves Friday.
Dave Stieb is the only other Blue Jays pitcher to face seven batters without recording an out. Boston was also the opponent when it happened to Stieb in 1990.
