Fun fact: the 2023 Toronto Blue Jays are 0-7 against the Boston Red Sox. They’re also 2-8 against the Baltimore Orioles. Against everyone else...they’ve been pretty good! Anyway...
James Paxton survived the trade deadline and remembers a stalwart member of the rotation. His last time out in what was a painful 3-2 loss he tossed 5 innings while allowing just a single run and striking out 5 against 2 walks. He’s had a few gems and not many stinkers in his first active season with the Sox. He’s faced the Jays once this year on 6/30 and didn’t allow a run over 7.
