KEY GAME INFORMATION
TORONTO: TORONTO (AP) - All winter long, the Blue Jays' primary concern was upgrading the starting pitching. The biggest story in Toronto this spring, though, is the one about the free agent arm that got away.
After months of inaction, the Blue Jays thought they'd landed right-hander Ervin Santana on a one-year deal in early March. But when injury concerns flared up in Atlanta, Santana signed a similar deal with the Braves instead.
''I think it's pretty obvious we were involved, it didn't work out. I'm trying to take the high road here,'' general manager Alex Anthopoulos said after Santana turned him down, saying he'd rather pitch in a spacious National League park than face AL East foes in Toronto's hitter-friendly dome.
Anthopoulos, who'd previously come ''extremely close'' to acquiring a starter through trade, must now start the season with almost the same staff he took north last year. Right-handed knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, the 2012 NL Cy Young winner, will be the opening-day starter again, while left-hander Mark Buehrle gets the third slot.
But none of the other three leading contenders, right-handers Brandon Morrow and Drew Hutchison, and left-hander J.A. Happ, have ever pitched 200 innings, and all three are coming off injuries. Morrow was limited to 10 starts last year by a nerve problem in his forearm, Hutchison hasn't pitched in the majors since elbow surgery in 2012, and Happ missed most of 2013 after being hit in the head by a line drive. Happ dimmed his own chances with an awful spring.
Santana, who has topped the 200-inning mark five times, would have given the Blue Jays valuable depth. Without him, there's more chance they'll need starts from touted but untested youngsters like Kyle Drabek, Sean Nolin, and Marcus Stroman.
Still, a confident Dickey insisted Santana would have been more ''bonus'' than ''necessity'' to Toronto. ''I feel like we have what we need,'' he said.
BOSTON: BOSTON (AP) - Last season was one to remember for fans of the Red Sox - and one to forget for the players.
Soon after Boston's third World Series championship in 10 years, that bearded bunch decided to put it behind them and focus on what they must do to keep winning.
''It was a dream come true last year,'' pitcher Jake Peavy said. ''It's a new year. I think that's been a slogan of ours on the text messages that we've been exchanging with the guys, `Hey turn the page, it's a new year, it's 2014.' We haven't done anything and, obviously, some teams in our division got awfully better.''
The Red Sox won't be sneaking up on them, not after rebounding from a 69-93, last-place finish in the AL East to a 97-65 record, a 28-win improvement.
''You've got the bull's-eye on your back,'' second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. ''You want to get everybody's best, so I think it's going to be a fun challenge for everybody.''
John Farrell's disciplined, businesslike approach worked in his first year as Boston's manager. That, and the influx of players to improve the toxic clubhouse chemistry, made the one season under the animated Bobby Valentine seem like a distant memory.
Those players, including Jonny Gomes, Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino, return. The Red Sox lost center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury to the New York Yankees then signed Grady Sizemore as a possible replacement. Sizemore missed the last two seasons with knee and back injuries that required surgery but has had a healthy, productive spring training.
''In this group, no one's going to let anybody sit back and relax,'' Pedroia said. ''We're always going to push each other and make sure that we're respecting the game and playing the game the right way. If we do that, we should be all right.''

*Blue Jays-Red Sox Preview* ===========================

By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer

Toronto (56-50) at Boston (48-57), 7:10 p.m. EDT

The Toronto Blue Jays have rediscovered the offensive form that carried them to the top of the AL East last month.

That doesn't bode well for the Boston Red Sox heading into a matchup with a right-hander who stymied them last week.

The visiting Blue Jays will try to keep pushing across runs for rookie Marcus Stroman as they go for a ninth win in 11 games Tuesday night against the last-place Red Sox.

Toronto (57-50) averaged 5.1 runs and hit 89 home runs on the way to a 38-24 start and a six-game lead in the division, before several key injuries slowed that attack while the team dropped 24 of the next 35.

Although Brett Lawrie, Edwin Encarnacion and Adam Lind remain sidelined, the Blue Jays have gotten their offense back on track by averaging 6.4 runs and hitting .323 with 12 homers in their last 10 games.

Melky Cabrera homered twice and drove in five runs Monday and Ryan Goins set career highs with four hits and four RBIs as Toronto matched its season high run total in a 14-1 victory to open this three-game set.

Cabrera has gone 18 for 40 with three home runs and 13 RBIs over his last 10 contests.

"The All-Star break did him some good," manager John Gibbons said. "From the looks of it right now, I think the All-Star break did us all some good."

Toronto, seeking its fourth straight win, isn't likely to need a ton of scoring with Stroman (6-2, 3.21 ERA) on the mound.

The 23-year-old is looking to extend a 14-inning scoreless streak as he faces the Red Sox for the second consecutive start. He carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning Thursday before allowing one hit over seven with seven strikeouts in an 8-0 victory.

The 2012 first-round draft pick is 5-2 with a 2.21 ERA since joining the rotation in late May,

"He's pitching like a veteran who has been around a long time," Gibbons told MLB's official website. "He has the great arm, he has the pitches and all that, but the big thing about him is that he is a great competitor."

Boston's Brock Holt may not be looking forward to facing Stroman again since he fanned three times in as many at-bats against him last week. The rookie outfielder is also 1 for 23 with eight strikeouts in his last six games.

After totaling 15 runs and hitting .159 with runners in scoring position while dropping six of seven, the Red Sox (48-58) are hoping to generate some offense for scheduled starter Rubby De La Rosa (3-3, 3.54).

The right-hander had a dismal outing opposite Stroman on Thursday, surrendering a career-high seven runs and nine hits over four-plus innings at Rogers Centre.

Toronto's Juan Francisco hit a home run and a triple off De La Rosa in that contest.

De La Rosa, however, has been at his best at Fenway Park with a 3-0 record and a 1.38 ERA in four starts.

"It's a stark contrast," manager John Farrell said. "Clearly, he feels comfortable on the mound at Fenway and is able to channel the emotion and adrenaline inside Fenway Park."

The Blue Jays made a move to bolster their short-handed infield on Monday, acquiring Danny Valencia from Kansas City. The 29-year-old, who spent time with Boston in 2012, is batting .282 with two home runs and 11 RBIs in 36 games.
