TORONTO -- After a pregame players meeting provided a jolt of positive energy, J.A. Happ helped the Toronto Blue Jays to rebound.Happ got his 18th win, Melvin Upton Jr. hit a two-run homer and the Blue Jays stopped a four-game losing streak by beating Boston 3-2 on Saturday.Toronto closed within one game of the AL East-leading Red Sox and leads the wild-card race, one game ahead of third-place Baltimore.It was a big win, no doubt, Happ said. We had better energy than weve had in a while today. From first pitch to last it seemed like our dugout was really into this one.Toronto, whose players met behind closed doors for about an hour before the game, avoided matching its longest skid this season.It was just nice to get everybody together and talk about it and get back on the same page, catcher Russell Martin said. I think it was just to reassure, to make sure that everybody is in a good mindset and focusing on what they need to focus on. Happ declined to discuss specifics but said the meeting was overwhelmingly positive.Upton and Devon Travis both made costly errors in Fridays 13-3 loss but followed with good days at the plate Saturday. Travis had three hits for the Blue Jays and is 6 for 9 in the first two games of the series. Upton hit his 20th homer, a two-run drive in the second off Eduardo Rodruguez (2-7).Two guys who took a lot of heat last night came through for us, manager John Gibbons said.Upton has 25 stolen bases and reached the 20-20 mark for the fourth time.Happ (18-4) allowed two runs and four hits in six-plus innings to win for the first time since Aug. 17 at the New York Yankees, ending a three-start winless streak. He didnt allow a hit until Chris Youngs one-out single to center in the fifth.Many, many times weve shown the ability to put up a quality offensive game, Red Sox manager John Farrell said. He shut us down today.Jose Bautista made it 3-0 in the third with an RBI bloop single just beyond the reach of shortstop Xander Bogaerts.Dustin Pedroia homered leading off the sixth and has a 28-game hitting streak against the Blue Jays.Still, Pedroia said it was a struggle facing Happ.Hes tough, Pedroia said. His fastball gets on you, he locates real well, hes got late movement on his offspeed stuff. It just wasnt our day.Happ left after back-to-back singles by Hanley Ramirez and Aaron Hill put runners at the corners in the seventh. Joaquin Benoit gave up a sacrifice fly to Jackie Bradley Jr., then struck out pinch-hitter Travis Shaw.Jason Grilli pitched the eighth, and Roberto Osuna finished for his 31st save in 34 chances, striking out Bradley with a man on for the final out.Rodriguez allowed three runs -- two earned -- and four hits in six innings. He is winless in nine starts but has allowed more than three earned runs just once in that stretch.WET AND DRYA light rain was still falling as the dome opened before the game, forcing some fans to shelter under umbrellas. The skies soon cleared and it was dry the rest of the day.WHAT A RELIEFBoston relievers have not allowed an earned run over 14 2/3 innings in September.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: OF Andrew Benintendi (left knee) is to try sliding in a simulated game Tuesday at Fenway Park, Farrell said.

The Oakland Athletics manager had a reminder with a pep talk.Youve got to remind him who Sonny Gray is, Melvin said.

Gray had retired 12 of the first 13 batters before that and struck out the last two batters he faced to finish the sixth.The first four innings and even the sixth inning, thats the pitcher that I want to be and the pitcher that Ive been my whole career, not only in the big leagues, but my whole life, Gray said. I dont know what its been this year. I cant explain just the one inning.Josh Reddick drove in three runs for the As, who won for the fourth time in five games. Reddicks two-run homer in the fourth was one of three homers by the As. Coco Crisp and Marcus Semien also went deep.Gray, who has won all six of his career starts at Texas, struck out all three batters in the first and had five Ks through two innings.In the third, he had a nifty defensive play, bouncing off the mound toward the third-base line to field a high chopper. He made a backhanded catch and then an off-balance throw falling toward the line to get Robinson Chirinos out at first.He pitched great, and he got through a tough spot, which he wasnt able to do against them the one time at home, Melvin said. Hes working through some things in a difficult year for him, and he got through it tonight. He got us through six innings, and he pitched great.Crisp led off the fourth with his eighth homer of the season, and Reddick homered after Jed Lowries single. Semiens 21st homer started the fifth off Nick Martinez (1-3) before Reddick added a run-scoring single for a 5-0 lead.The no-hit bid for Gray ended when Rougned Odor singled on the first pitch of the fifth, thoughh he was easily thrown out trying to stretch a routine single to right into a double.dddddddddddd.Gallo then homered, a 448-foot opposite-field blast over the As bullpen in left-center.

We liked what we saw the first three innings.BIG PROSPECTWith Prince Fielder expected to have season-ending neck surgery, the Rangers recalled Gallo to give them a left-hander with potential power.
