The Sox came all the way back from 4-0 down to tie it, 5-5, by the fourth inning, as David Ortiz went deep for his 19th HR of 2012 in the first.
Doubront settled down but gave the lead back to 7-5 in the 5th. Matt Albers allowed a two-run shot to Jose Bautista in the 7th that made it 9-5, and then the rain came, and held the game up for two hours.
David Ortiz hit another blast in the 8th that made it 9-6, but that was as close as the Sox would come.
The Sox and Jays are once again tied for fourth place, 6 1/2 games behind New York.
