The Sox, losers of their first series in a month, try to avoid a sweep tonight in Canada.
The short-handed Red Sox look to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Blue Jays tonight in Toronto behind Nick Pivetta (7:07 p.m., NESN, MLBN out-of-market).
Pivetta, who has been amazing this year, faces one of the few pitchers who’s been demonstrably better — the young and super talented Alek Manoah, who comes into the game with a 2.05 ERA. He’s going to terrorize the Sox for years to come, but maybe they can stave it off for just one more day.
