HOMED IN: Tonight s game continues a 6-game homestand against divisional rivals, with 3 games each against the Blue Jays and then Yankees. Last night s loss snapped a 5-game win streak at home...boston ranks 4th in the AL with a 16-10 (.615) record at home beginning on 5/28...That followed a 10-17 (.370) start at home. At 26-27, the Sox are looking to even their home record...boston was a season-high 1-game above.500 at home on 6/18 (20-19). WALK-OFF MAGIC: Boston is tied with the Angels for the AL lead with 8 walk-off wins in 2014, 1 shy of Pittsburgh s MLB-high 9 walk-off victories...that accounts for 31% of the club s 26 total wins at home.

Of Boston s 48 wins, 11 have come in games the club was not leading to begin the 9th inning (23%). STAY GROUNDED: Burke Badenhop has induced 13 ground into double plays, 3 more than any other major league reliever this season (3 with 10 GIDP) and the most by a Red Sox reliever since Julian Tavarez had 15 in 2006.

At the end of this series, the Red Sox and Blue Jays will have played 7 games in 10 days, which began with a 4-game set in Toronto to open last week (1-3).

DAVID IN JULY: David Ortiz leads MLB with 25 RBI since the start of July, with WSH s Jason Werth ranking 2nd at 23 and DET s Torii Hunter ranking 2nd in the AL with 22...Ortiz has more RBI (25) than hits (22) in the month. Ortiz s RBI counts have improved each month this year: 14 in April, 17 in May, 21 in June, and 25 in July. This already marks the 2nd-largest RBI total for any July of Ortiz s career after 2006 (35) and his most RBI in any calendar month since May 2010 (27). PATIENCE PAYS: Boston is leading the majors in pitchers per PA (4.03), with an MLB-high 16,436 total pitches seen.

The Sox are on a pace for 61, 1-run games this year... It would be the most 1-run decisions for an AL team since the 1993 Royals (70) and would pass the Sox current record of 59, 1-run games in 1961 (32-27). The club s 40, 1-run games (20-20) are more than any other AL team, 1 less than MIA s 41...The Sox played 42, 1-run games in 2013 (21-21). CENTER STAGE: Jackie Bradley Jr. has 12 outfield assists this season, tied for the MLB lead with OAK s Yoenis Cespedes and 6 more any other CF (3 players at 6). His 7 double plays are 4 more than the next most among all MLB OF...It marks the most double plays by a Red Sox OF since Dwight Evans in 1980 (7), most by a Red Sox CF since Dom DiMaggio in 1942 (7). PLENTY OF ROOKIES: Boston has seen 7 different rookies combine to make 278 starts this season, most in the majors...the 2 rookies with the most starts in MLB this year are Xander Bogaerts (96) and Jackie Bradley Jr. (91). Including Brock Holt (71), the 2014 Red Sox are the 2nd defending World Champ to have 3 rookies each start at least 60 games, also the 1998 Marlins (Mark Kotsay, 136; Derrek Lee, 114; Todd Dunwoody, 96). This is the 1st Red Sox team to feature 3 rookies with 60+ starts since the 1966 squad: George Scott (159), Joe Foy (150), Mike Ryan (106).
