After the Boston Red Sox took the first two games of their series against the Toronto Blue Jays, the two teams will meet again on Wednesday night.
For the matchup, Boston will send Richard Fitts to the mound while Toronto will counter with Kevin Gausman.
Here's Alex Cora's lineup for the finale:
- Jarren Duran CF
- Wilyer Abreu RF
- Triston Casas 1B

Fitts has looked impressive in his first three MLB starts, tossing 15 2/3 innings and allowing just two unearned runs on 13 hits and five walks. However, Boston has lost all three of his starts. This will be his first battle with the Blue Jays and second with an American League East team.
Gausman has looked good for Toronto in his 30 starts, posting a 3.91 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP while striking out 159 batters. He's allowed three or fewer earned runs in his last eight starts. Seven Blue Jays have recorded hits against him - Triston Casas (1-for-6), Jarren Duran (6-for-16 with a solo home run), Romy Gonzalez (1-for-3 with an RBI), Tyler O'Neill (2-for-10 with a home run, two RBIs and three walks), Trevor Story (3-for-25), Enmanuel Valdez (2-for-6 with a solo home run and two walks) and Masataka Yoshida (5-for-9 with a home run and four RBIs).
