Red Sox teammates mobbed Shane Victorino after an error on his grounder to first allowed Jonathan Diaz to score in the ninth inning to give Boston a 5-4 win over Toronto at Fenway -- the Red Sox's 50th victory of the season. It was just the fourth time in franchise history that the Sox had reached 50 wins by July.
