The Red Sox did not get their doubleheader on Wednesday against the Blue Jays off to the start they were hoping for, dropping the opener 4-1 with their lack of offense being the main culprit. The bats had some chances early in that one, but they couldn’t get the big hits they needed. For this latter half, starting at 7:10 PM ET, they’re looking for a bounce back at the plate.
The good news on that front is that Xander Bogaerts will be back in the lineup after missing the last few games. At first his absence was chalked up to just a normal day off, but Alex Cora eventually said some wrist issues played into it as well.
