Red Sox vs. Blue Jays lineup: As Chris Sale goes, so go the Sox

We’re back! Mere hours after besting the Blue Jays on the beefy-boy back of Rafael Devers, the teams will get back at it, weather permitting, this afternoon at Fenway Park (1:05 p.m., NESN, MLBN out-of-network). Devers, Xander Bogaerts and Christian Vazquez have kept the Sox afloat this year, but they’re still a little rudderless — and that’s where Sale comes in. He can propel the Sox to and through the postseason; he can be the motor to the boat, the phonetic pun with his last name notwithstanding. And this can start at any time.
