The Boston Red Sox come to Baseball North for a four-game series, including an afternoon game on Canada Day.

The Red Sox won two of three in Tampa Bay, just like the Blue Jays did, but they are still last in the AL East at 34-43 and are 8 games back of the Orioles and Rays for first place. Boston will be without Dustin Pedroia (hamstring strain) and Hanley Ramirez (hand injury). Deven Marrero made his major league debut Sunday.

John Lott of The National Post has a story on Roberto Osuna and Brendan Kennedy of The Toronto Star takes a closer look at Kevin Pillar. That rhymes! What a start to the week!
