07/10/2010 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Red Sox halted a four-game losing skid yesterday and will attempt to make it two wins in a row over the Toronto Blue Jays this afternoon in American League East action from the Rogers Centre.
Boston will give the ball to big righty John Lackey this afternoon. Lackey is coming off a loss to Baltimore, widely considered the worst team in baseball, but he only allowed three earned runs in 7 1/3 innings in that tilt. He is now 9-4 overall with a 4.40 ERA and has given up three earned runs or fewer in five of his last six starts.
Lackey beat Toronto earlier this season despite getting smacked around for six earned runs on eight hits in six innings. For his career, the veteran hurler is 4-3 with a 3.74 ERA versus the Blue Jays.
Slated to oppose Lackey will be Brandon Morrow, a fellow righty who is 5-6 with a 4.69 ERA in 17 appearances this season. Morrow allowed five earned runs on nine hits at Yankee Stadium on Sunday and was handed a no-decision, but it should be noted that he may have earned a win if not for a misplayed fly ball. With 107 strikeouts in 96 innings of work, Morrow certainly has outstanding stuff.
In his only previous appearance against Boston this season, Morrow was rocked for six earned runs in just 1 2/3 innings of work on May 10. He walked six batters in that forgettable outing.
On Friday, Bill Hall finished 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a two-run homer and drove in four runs as Boston torched Toronto, 14-3, in the opener of this series.
Mike Cameron went 3-for-4 with a solo shot and knocked in three runs while scoring three times for the Red Sox. Kevin Youkilis homered and added two RBI, while Adrian Beltre also went deep and crossed the plate three times in the rout.
"Coming off a big series with Tampa Bay where we didn't do too well, we come in and were able to get a lot of guys on base and do some good things offensively," Hall said of the offensive explosion.
Jon Lester (11-3) yielded four hits and a pair of runs with six strikeouts over six strong innings to earn the victory for Boston, which finally rewarded manager Terry Francona with his 900th career win.
John McDonald and Jose Molina both homered for the Blue Jays, who saw their two-game win streak snapped and lost for the fourth time in six games. Ricky Romero (6-6) was ripped in defeat for five hits and nine runs -- five earned -- with a trio of walks over just 2 1/3 frames.
The Red Sox set a new season-best for runs in a game. Their previous high was 13, last reached in a 13-11 win in 10 innings at Colorado on June 24.
The Red Sox have beaten Toronto in six of seven matchups this year and 12 of the past 16 meetings overall. Boston swept Toronto in three games at the Rogers Centre from April 26-28 and has now won six straight as the visitor in this series. They've also held the Blue Jays to two runs or less four times during that win streak.
