Baseball: Blue Jays vs Red Sox: After a game this afternoon, the teams will meet again tonite - Jay spoilers of Sox fortunes?

BLUE JAYS WATCH

Blue Jays fans! - don't miss the game with the Boston Red Sox tonite (telecast, I presume). Game starts at 7:05 PM. As the item from the Ottawa Sun indicates, tonite's game follows on an earlier game this afternoon (a sequence called a "day-niter"). As we come to the end of the Baseball season, Toronto's Blue Jays have the chance to become spoliers in the battle of the Yankees and the Red Sox for the lead in the American League East.

At Boston, the scheduled game between the Blue Jays and Boston was postponed by rain Monday night, forcing the Red Sox to play a day-night doubleheader in the middle of a tight pennant race. The game will be made up today at 1:05 p.m., and the teams will play again at 7:05 p.m. as scheduled -- so Boston must rearrange its pitching plans for the week. The Red Sox entered yesterday tied with the Yankees atop the AL East with seven games to go. Curt Schilling, slated to start last night, will now pitch tonight against the Blue Jays and then in the regular-season finale against New York at Fenway Park on Sunday -- instead of Saturday. Tim Wakefield, originally scheduled to pitch tonight, will start the day game for the Red Sox.

There's an inning-by-inning updated scoreboard for tonite's game at the Sun Sport site. - Owilie Scowlie
