Snider gets called up from AAA Las Vegas and gets rolling fast

Travis Snider recorded three doubles and a pair of RBIs as the Blue Jays roughed up right-hander John Lackey en route to a 9-7 victory over the Red Sox on Monday afternoon at Fenway Park.
Snider, who was recalled from Triple-A before the game, reached base four times and recorded a run. He was helped out by second baseman Aaron Hill, who homered and notched a pair of RBIs.
Toronto chased Lackey before the end of the third. The right-hander allowed seven runs on nine hits while striking out two over just 2 1/3 innings.
Center fielder Rajai Davis opened the scoring for the Blue Jays in the first. He doubled to lead off the game, stole third and came around to score on an error by Kevin Youkilis.
Lackey was dealt the final blow in the third. He allowed three consecutive hits to open the frame. Adam Lind and Hill delivered RBI singles, while Snider added a two-run double in what ended up being Lackey's final batter.
