WHAT'S UP
The Red Sox have compiled a 10-3 record over their last 13 home games, winning their previous four home series in the process. The Sox lead the MLB with 10.2 hits-per-game at home as well as AVG (2.90) and OBP (.359). Reese McGuire draws back into the lineup behind the plate and will look to build on a solid season so far. McGuire has gone 15-for-43 in his last 16 games which has produced a .349 AVG. Kevin Gausman has 54 strikeouts this season, the most ever by a Blue Jay in their first six outings of a season and second most in the AL in 2023 (Shohei Ohtani - 59K). Brayan Bello fanned seven batters in five innings in his last home start against the Blue Jays on Aug. 24, 2022. The Sox haven't swept the Jays in a four-plus game series since 2002.
