Blue Jays: Roy Halladay is coming off his first loss in six starts and has not enjoyed much success against the Red Sox during his career. Halladay is an even 11-11 lifetime vs. Boston with an inflated 4.51 ERA, and he gave up five runs and nine hits to the White Sox last time out on Wednesday in a 6-5 loss. He had gone 10-5 in his previous 16 road starts with one no-decision and owns a 2.79 ERA away from home this season.
