Red Sox, Blue Jays Clash in Fenway Playoff Push

The Red Sox and Blue Jays open a pivotal series at Fenway with a high-profile pitching duel as Sonny Gray faces Dylan Cease. Gray is 10-0 with a 1.94 ERA in his last 13 starts, while Cease is making a strong first year in Toronto. Boston relies on Seigler and Monasterio to drive offense as it seeks to extend a recent surge, and Toronto is six games back in the wild-card race as it heads south for this road test. The series heightens division implications as both teams push toward October, with Boston aiming to maintain momentum after a lengthy win streak and Toronto trying to halt a slump. The games will be streamed on Apple TV’s Friday Night Baseball, with the first pitch at 7:15 p.m. ET on Friday, July 24.
