Red Sox at Blue Jays lineup: Can the Sox move into sole possession of first place?

The Red Sox come into tonight’s game against the Blue Jays in a statistical tie for first place with the Orioles and Yankees. Not bad for a season in which the offense has seemed asleep at times and the starting pitching has been paper thin. They’re four games above .500, looking to go five over and grab their fifth win in a row at the same time, and do so against the worst team in baseball (7:07 p.m. NESN) up in Toronto.

The Blue Jays reminded us yesterday that no matter how poorly thing have been going for them, they can still hit a ton. Tonight reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello will try to stop them, one start after he was obliterated at home against the Rays. The Sox haven’t lost since then, and will look to continue their suddenly hot-hitting ways against lefty Francisco Liriano.

Here are the full lineups:
