Toronto Blue Jays probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. Boston Red Sox, Sept. 17

The Toronto Blue Jays will look to secure the series sweep today against the Boston Red Sox after their 13-inning win yesterday. A game filled with baserunning blunders and missed opportunities, it wasn't exactly a confidence-inspiring victory, but at this time of year, a win is a win. The Jays sit in the third Wild Card position heading into action today, trailing the Rangers by 0.5 games and ahead of the Mariners by 0.5 games. The Red Sox will try and play spoiler from the basement of the AL East.

Probable starting pitchers

Hyun Jin Ryu will try to shut down the Red Sox in his ninth start since returning from Tommy John surgery. The veteran lefty is 3-3 with a solid 2.93 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP this season. Ryu got through six innings for the first time in his last start, which came in a three-run, five-strikeout effort against the Rangers. In six games versus Boston in his career, Ryu has a 4.01 ERA and 28 strikeouts in 33 2/3 innings.

The Red Sox will send Nick Pivetta to the hill to try and avoid the sweep. Pivetta, 30, has had multiple roles for Boston this season, starting 13 games and pitching out of the bullpen as a short-stint and bulk reliever. He carries a 4.56 ERA into today's matchup but can rack up the strikeouts with an 11.77 K/9. Last time out, he struck out 10 Yankees through 5 1/3 innings of work. In 14 innings against the Jays this season, the righty has 14 punchouts, but Toronto has tagged him for four homers and seven runs for a 4.50 ERA.
