The Red Sox earned their 100th win of the season blanking Toronto at Fenway

The Boston Red Sox reached 100 wins for the first time since Ted Williams returned from World War II in the 1946 season, beating the Blue Jays 1-0 as David Price won his sixth straight decision.

Price (15-6) allowed three hits and struck out seven.

Unbeaten in 11 starts since July 1, Price left after 92 pitches with a lead earned when Rafael Devers scampered home on a wild pitch by Aaron Sanchez (4-6) in the fifth inning.

Craig Kimbrel got three outs for his 39th save in 44 chances, and the scoreboards all flashed ``100 WINS.''

A night after becoming the first major league team this year to clinch a playoff spot, Boston won for the 10th time in 14 games and moved a season-high 54 games above .500.

This year's Red Sox need only to go 6-10 the rest of the way to break the franchise record of 105 wins, set in 1912.
