The Toronto Blue Jays have a chance to wrap up the American League East with a nine-game homestand and will play only division opponents the rest of the way. The Blue Jays open the homestand by hosting a dangerous Boston Red Sox team in the first of a three-game series on Friday.

The Red Sox (69-76) are coming off of a series loss against division opponents the Baltimore Orioles, although they won the last game by nine runs. Boston has won six out of their last 10 games, playing inspired baseball, despite losing one of their hottest starting pitchers, Joe Kelly, to a shoulder injury.
The Blue Jays (84-62) won their last two games in Atlanta against the Braves, but also went 6-4 in their last 10 games. The Blue Jays are hoping that a home stand in Toronto is exactly what they need to shake off the New York Yankees, whom are 3.5 games back of them for the American League East division lead

Boston won three of four the last time it visited Toronto June 29-July 2, with Rick Porcello (8-12, 5.06 ERA) suffering the lone defeat. He gave up seven runs in two innings, dropping to 1-3 with a 7.65 ERA in four career starts there.
The right-hander had a 5.81 ERA when he went on the disabled list Aug. 2 with a strained right triceps, but he's 3-1 with a 2.15 ERA in four starts since returning after pitching seven innings in Saturday's 10-4 win over Tampa Bay.
Porcello won't have to face Troy Tulowitzki, who saw a specialist Thursday regarding the cracked shoulder blade he suffered in a collision Saturday. There's no timetable for the star shortstop's return.
