The Blue Jays and Red Sox tussle for divisional supremacy in the winner-take-all Game 3 of their series on Sunday afternoon. After a downward spiral that had them losing five-straight games, the Red Sox finally stabilized in yesterday's game with a dominant 15-1 over the visitors.
Walker Buehler will make his 14th start for the year with his new squad. The former Dodger All-Star has posted a 5-5 record with a 6.29 ERA so far. Opposing Buehler on the mound is Toronto's starter Eric Lauer. The 30-year-old left has tallied a 4-1 record with a 2.21 ERA across 11 games this campaign.
