DUNEDIN — Bo Bichette had three hits and drove in a run as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Boston Red Sox 7-4 in spring training action Thursday.

Bichette led off the bottom of the first inning with a single and was driven in by Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s double to tie the game 1-1.

He had another single in Toronto’s three-run second that featured back-to-back home runs — a two-run shot off the bat of Ernie Clement and a solo drive from Davis Schneider.

Bichette’s third single in as many innings scored Clement to put the Jays up 5-2.

Alejandro Kirk and Schneider had RBI singles in the fourth to cap Toronto’s scoring.
