The Toronto Blue Jays will try to bounce back from a series loss

The Blue Jays began their nine-game residency by losing two of three to the Tampa Bay Rays, losing Sunday's rubber match 2-1 in 10 innings. That defeat leaves Toronto 5 1/2 games back of the second wild card spot in the American League.

J.A. Happ starts tonight for the Blue Jays hoping to end a three-start losing streak. He lasted only 3 1/3 innings on Tuesday at Milwaukee, charged with four runs on six hits and two walks.

Happ has gone 3-2 with a 4.36 ERA over his career against Boston and picked up his most recent victory against the club on July 22. The 31-year-old logged six scoreless innings, working around seven hits.

Happ is set to go against a Boston club that has lost eight in a row and finished up a 2-9 homestand with an 8-6 loss to Seattle on Sunday.

The Boston Red Sox have a shiny new outfielder in Cuban import Rusney Castillo, but little else to distract them from a rough present, which involves an ugly record at the bottom of the division.

The Red Sox are far gone record-wise, but can do something about their AL East gap somewhat with a three-game set vs. the Toronto Blue Jays. At the very least, they can end their losing skid.

It was a tough series at the plate for the Red Sox, who placed shortstop Xander Bogaerts on the seven-day concussion disabled list after Sunday's game. Bogaerts was hit in the head by a changeup from Mariners starter Felix Hernandez on Friday.

The Blue Jays are 10-3 versus the Red Sox this year, winning each of the past six meetings.
