BASEBALL PREVIEW: Blue Jays at Red Sox BOSTON (Interstat) — The Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox conclude their four-game series Sunday afternoon at Fenway Park. First pitch is set for 1:35 p.m. under clear skies and a temperature of 79 degrees. The Blue Jays (48-57) took the opener of the series 6-0 on Saturday behind a complete-game shutout by Dylan Cease, who struck out 12 and allowed one hit. The Red Sox (53-50) evened the series Friday with a 6-4 victory. Sunday’s winner will claim the series. Toronto has not officially named a starter. Right-hander Kevin Gausman (4-9, 4.52 ERA) and left-hander Ranger Suarez (4-3, 3.33 ERA) are listed as probable. Gausman has lost his last three decisions. Suarez has allowed two earned runs or fewer in five of his last six outings. Boston’s starter has not been announced. The Red Sox bullpen is expected to be available, including right-handed reliever Alec Gamboa. In his last appearance Saturday against Toronto, Gamboa went four innings, allowing one run on five hits with six strikeouts. Over his previous four outings, he allowed no runs in 7⅓ innings. Cease, who threw a 98-pitch gem Saturday, is a player to watch for Toronto despite not being scheduled to pitch Sunday. The right-hander has a 1.17 ERA over his last four starts, including two complete-game shutouts. For Boston, Gamboa has been effective in relief, allowing only one earned run over his last 12 innings. He has struck out nine batters in that span. The Blue Jays have struggled offensively of late, scoring two runs or fewer in five of their last seven games. George Springer had two hits, including a home run, in Saturday’s win. Ernie Clement went 3-for-4 with an RBI. The Red Sox offense has been inconsistent, scoring six runs Friday but being shut out Saturday. Andruw Monasterio had a hit in the loss. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 7-2 Boston victory. The Red Sox are -1.5 favorites, and the over/under is set at 8.5 runs. Following Sunday’s game, Toronto travels to Washington for a three-game series beginning Monday. Boston heads to Oakland for a four-game set. The Red Sox then visit the Los Angeles Dodgers for three games starting July 31. The Blue Jays are 2-8 in their last 10 games. The Red Sox are 6-4 in their last 10.
