BOSTON -- Two years after leaving in the middle of an unprecedented September collapse and one year after slinking away to finish the franchises worst season in half a century, the Boston Red Sox wrapped things up at Fenway Park with the knowledge that they will be back. David Ortiz and Jackie Bradley Jr. homered to lead the Red Sox to a 5-2 victory over the last-place Toronto Blue Jays in Bostons regular-season home finale Sunday. After a five-game road trip to Colorado and Baltimore, the Red Sox will return for the AL division series in October. "The energy thats created here and the way the guys embrace it, it has been our advantage once again," manager John Farrell said. "We have heard a lot lately about the last couple of Septembers, but that has not penetrated the minds of anyone in this clubhouse." Three days after clinching a playoff berth, two days after securing the AL East title and one day after giving many starters the day off to sleep off the celebration, the Red Sox returned to winning. Boston took the three-game series -- its 33rd series victory of the season -- and finished 53-28 at home. With 95 wins, the Red Sox have the best record in baseball and a lead in the race for home-field advantage through the World Series. "Were going out to win games and be aggressive," said Felix Doubront, who made his first start since Sept. 6 and his last before moving to the bullpen to be ready for the playoffs. "Well try to go hard every game." Doubront (11-6) gave up two runs on four hits and two walks, striking out two. Koji Uehara pitched a perfect ninth for his 21st save. Kevin Pillar homered and added an RBI single for Toronto. Reigning NL Cy Young-winner R.A. Dickey (13-13) allowed five runs on six hits and a walk, with a season-high 11 strikeouts in his third complete game of the season. "He gives up fly balls. Thats part of being a knuckleballer," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "But he threw a tremendous game. Two home runs. You cant take away the home runs. We battled, but we just couldnt get anything going against Doubront." The Red Sox took the lead in the bottom of the second, when Dickey allowed three singles -- two of them bloopers -- and then Bradleys three-run homer. Like Ortizs solo shot in the sixth, it was a high fly ball that got caught in the wind blowing out to right field. "If a ball got up above the elevation of the roof, it was going," Dickey said. "Those two got up and they kept going." Toronto took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on Pillars single before Boston made it 4-1 in the bottom half. After the Blue Jays cut the lead to 4-2 on Pillars homer off the top of the Green Monster, Ortiz made it a three-run game with a towering shot into the Toronto bullpen. Ortiz was also given a double in the third inning even though replays showed he slid into second baseman Ryan Goins glove and should have been out.

"No," Triplett said. "Were just going to say the sample size is still very small." The 51-year-old Triplett won the ACE Group Classic on Sunday for his third Champions Tour title, holing a 6-foot par putt on the final hole for a one-stroke victory. Triplett shot a 6-under 66 to finish at 16-under 200 on TwinEagles Talon Course. He won the 50-and-over tours Pebble Beach event the last two years after winning three times on the PGA Tour. "Ive never won out here on this side of the world," Triplett said. "Im a West Coast guy through and through, so to win on this Bermuda grass is, I think, a little bit of a minor miracle for me." Langer, the defending champion, Duffy Waldorf and Olin Browne tied for second. Playing in the final threesome, Triplett, Langer and Waldorf were tied for the lead with a hole to play. In Tripletts last win at Pebble Beach, he also was paired with Langer, who has owned this event the last three years, winning in 2011 and 2013 and finishing second behind Kenny Perry in 2012. "Hes awesome to play with," Triplett said. "Im telling you, you know the guy, hes such a great competitor and hes such a nice man. We were joking last week, If you shot one shot worse than Bernhhard every day all year, what would you finish on the money list? Somebody goes, Second, right? because it just feels that way sometimes.dddddddddddd." On the par-4 18th, Waldorf drove into a bunker and wound up with a bogey for a 66. "I hit a bad drive," he said. "So I mean, it was a bad drive. The pin was in a tough spot. I laid up fine, but I spun my wedge a lot and just didnt -- I didnt hit it close enough to have a chance for par." Admittedly using the wrong club, Langers second shot sailed left, and his 12-footer for par curled around the cup for bogey and a 67. Tripletts second shot from a divot landed about 25 feet from the pin. His birdie putt went past the hole and he made the 6-footer for the victory. "You want to make birdies but you dont want to make bogeys and youre thinking to yourself, 4s not going to lose this probably, " Triplett said. "I mean, it might. If it does, if it loses the 18th hole, you look the guy in the eye, shake his hand and say, Well done, sir. "It wasnt the best (putt) I made all day, but it was good enough." Langer has finished in the top 10 in 40 of the last 48 tournaments hes played in. The German star won the season-opening event in Hawaii last month for his 19th Champions Tour title. Waldorf, coming off a playoff loss to Michael Allen last week in Boca Raton in the Allianz Championship, almost holed out on the par-3 16th. ' ' '
