Boston is 9 games into a 13-game period against division rivals from 7/21-8/3 (2-7 thus far)...the club is 18-29 (.383) against the AL East this season and 30-30 (.500) against the rest of baseball. Boston is 25-15 (.625) this season when tallying at least 10 hits...the club has a 42-26 (.618) record when scoring at least 3 runs. IN THE STANDINGS: The Red Sox are in 5th place, a season-high 12.0 games back...they are 5.0 games behind the 4th-place Rays and 9.5 games back in the race for the 2nd Wild Card berth. HOMED IN: Tonight s game continues a 6-game homestand against divisional rivals, with 3 games each against the Blue Jays (0-2 thus far) and then Yankees. Boston has lost 2 straight to open the homestand after winning its previous 5 home games...the club ranks T-4th in the AL with a 16-11 (.593) record at home beginning on 5/28...That followed a 10-17 (.370) start at home. 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. Boston s 19 walk-off wins since the start of 2013 are tied with Arizona for the MLB lead (11 in 2013). QUALITY ABUNDANT: The Red Sox 62 quality starts this year rank 2nd in the AL behind only the A s (65). The club has matched its total of QS through the first 107 games of the 2013 seasons (63 QS through 108 games in 2013). KEEPING THE LEAD: The Red Sox are 37-0 this season when leading after 8 innings...boston is the only major league team that has not lost when ahead entering the 9th. Of Boston s 48 wins, 11 have come in games the club was not leading to begin the 9th inning (23%). HOTTER THAN...: David Ortiz, who has homered 5 times in the club s last 9 games, ranks 4th in the AL with 25 home runs, 3rd with 77 RBI, and T-6th with 46 XBH...He leads MLB left-handed hitters in RBI and tops AL left-handed batters in homers (T-1st in MLB) and XBH (2nd in MLB). Ortiz has driven in 4 of Boston s 6 runs over the last 3 games...he has produced 13 of the club s 31 runs scored in the last 9 games (42%), with 11 of those RBI on home runs (35% of the club s 31 runs scored). MONTH OF DAVID: 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 increased 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). SOX AND JAYS: The Red Sox and Blue Jays conclude a 3-game series at Fenway Park tonight (0-2 thus far)...boston is 3-9 this season against the Jays and has dropped their first 5 Fenway Park matchups in a season for the 1st time since losing all 6 home games against the Jays in 1989. At the end of this series, the Red Sox and Blue Jays will have played 7 games in 10 days (1-5), which began with a 4-game set in Toronto to open last week. Boston s 302 all-time wins over the Jays rank 2nd only to the Yankees (310)...Since the Jays 1st season in 1977, Boston only has more wins against BAL (309). GROUND CONTROL: Burke Badenhop has induced 13 ground into double plays, 2 more than any other MLB reliever this season (LAD s Brandon League, 11) and the most by a Red Sox reliever since Julian Tavarez had 15 in 2006. Badenhop has gone 44.1 IP since allowing his only home run of the season on 4/12 at NYY (Kelly Johnson)...It marks the 4th-longest active homerless streak among AL pitchers this season, a list topped by TB s Jake McGee (48.0 IP). CENTER STAGE: Jackie Bradley Jr. has 12 outfield assists this season, tied for the MLB lead with OAK s Yoenis Cespedes and double any other CF (5 CF each have 6 assists). 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). ON THE OFFENSE: The Red Sox have scored 65 runs in their last 15 games (4.3 runs per game) beginning on 7/11, but have crossed the plate just 17 times in their last 8 games (2.1 runs per game) since setting a season-high in runs scored with a 14-1 win on 7/21 at TOR. Overall in 2014, Boston ranks T-13th in the AL with 411 runs scored despite placing 3rd in the AL with 374 walks and 6th with 1,320 times on base. OFF THE BENCH: Jonny Gomes, who has pinch-hit in the Sox last 3 games, has reached base safely in exactly half of his 50 PA as a pinch-hitter since joining the Red Sox, including 10 of 20 PA as a pinch-hitter this season, after reaching in 15 of 30 PA as a pinch-hitter in 2013. Gomes.500 pinch-hit OBP since the start of 2013 is the best in the majors (min. 25 PA)...He also leads the majors with 6 pinch-hit homers in that time, 1 shy of the all-time Red Sox record (Ted Williams, 7). IT S A VIRTUE: Boston leads the majors with 16,588 pitches seen and ranks 2nd in MLB with 4.03 P/PA (MIN, 4.04)... Mike Napoli ranks 2nd among MLB qualifiers with 4.46 P/ PA, trailing only LAA s Mike Trout (4.48)...Xander Bogaerts ranks 2nd on the team and 10th in the AL at 4.13. The Sox lead the majors in 2-strike hits (375) and times on base in 2-strike counts (584). RAZOR THIN: Boston is tied with Baltimore for the AL lead with 20, 1-run wins this season (T-3rd in MLB)...The club s 40, 1-run games (20-20) are more than any other AL team, 1 less than the MLB lead (Miami, 41)...The club played 42, 1-run games in 2013 (21-21). 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). PLENTY OF ROOKIES: Boston has seen 7 different rookies combine to make 281 starts this season, most in the majors...the 2 rookies with the most starts in MLB this year are Xander Bogaerts (97) and Jackie Bradley Jr. (92). Including Brock Holt (72), this is the 1st Red Sox team to feature 3 rookies with 60+ starts since 1966: George Scott (159), Joe Foy (150), Mike Ryan (106).
