"If there's any game in which the Red Sox need everyone to be on their A-game, it's this one. The free fall post Roman injury isn't doing anyone any favors-and with the Yankees and Blue Jays playing a series, should have been a chance to gain ground on either opponent. Instead, it feels like we're going to end up in the hunt for the final Wild Card spot."

The Red Sox enter a critical game needing every player at peak performance to halt a recent slide. The team's decline followed Roman's injury and has reduced momentum at a key stretch of the season. Concurrent Yankees-Blue Jays play removed an opportunity to gain ground on divisional rivals. The club now risks competing only for the final Wild Card berth if struggles continue. Luis Bello will take the mound and represents a chance to steady the rotation. The matchup takes place at Chase Field with first pitch at 4:10pm EDT, Phoenix.
