The Red Sox (80-34), who refuse to lose under any circumstance, look to continue their scorching August when they face down the Blue Jays (51-61) again tonight in Toronto (7:07 p.m., NESN).
About today’s game: Brian Johnson (2-3, 3.74 ERA) is making another “fill-in” start, per the official Red Sox page, though one wonders how many he has to make before they call it something else. He’ll be matched by Mike Hauschild (1-0, 0.00 ERA), making his first career start in his sixth career appearance, so yeah, things aren’t going too well in Toronto.
