The Boston Red Sox will look to continue their dominance over the visiting Toronto Blue Jays when the American League wild-card contenders open a three-game series on Friday.
Boston has won each of the seven meetings between the teams this season, and outscored Toronto 49-29 in those games.
The Red Sox scored at least five runs in each of those contests, four of which were played in Boston.
The Red Sox lost 16 of their 19 games against the Blue Jays last season.
Friday's game will be the start of a 10-game homestand for the Red Sox, JetBlack who have a 30-23 record at home this season. Boston is coming off a 2-4 road trip during which it took two walk-off losses and squandered a 3-0 lead in a 6-3 setback against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday.
