As the Boston Red Sox prepare to face the Toronto Blue Jays, manager Alex Cora sticks to his traditional lineup against right-handed pitchers. Starting pitcher Garrett Crochet, who previously struggled against the Blue Jays, aims to turn things around. The Red Sox hitters have had limited success against Toronto's Bowden Francis, accumulating just two hits in 24 at-bats. With both teams on shaky ground after recent losses, the series opener at Rogers Centre could be crucial for both squads. The match promises to be pivotal as both teams vie for momentum in the competitive landscape of the AL East.
