KEY GAME INFORMATION
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.''
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.

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

By JEFF BARTL STATS Writer

Boston (47-53) at Toronto (52-49), 12:37 p.m. EDT

Manager John Gibbons has been impressed with Marcus Stroman since the rookie was called up to join Toronto's bullpen in early May.

Now shining as a starter - especially at home - Stroman takes the ball Thursday looking to help the Blue Jays win a third straight to close this four-game set with the visiting Boston Red Sox.

Stroman (5-2, 3.58 ERA) made his major league debut May 4 and was used five times as a reliever before joining the rotation May 31. He's gone 4-2 with a 2.50 ERA in nine starts and was solid Saturday after a nine-day layoff, allowing four hits in seven scoreless innings of a 4-1 win over Texas.

The 23-year-old right-hander improved to 4-1 with a 1.82 ERA in six home outings.

"Since he's been here, he's been really good, especially for a young kid," Gibbons said. "He's a lot more polished than I thought he was going to be."

Stroman has yet to face the Red Sox (47-54), who are last in the AL East and have lost two straight after winning eight of nine. David Ortiz hit a three-run homer in the first inning Wednesday before Boston let the lead slip away in a 6-4 defeat.

Ortiz is 5 for 14 with four homers and eight RBIs in the series and hit his 37th home run at Rogers Centre, the most of any visiting opponent. He's looking to homer in four straight games for the first time since Aug. 9-12, 2001, while with Minnesota.

Stroman also must contend with rookie Brock Holt, who was held out of Boston's lineup Wednesday after playing 59 straight since being called up. Manager John Farrell said Holt, hitting .321 with three homers and 23 RBIs, will start the series finale.

"You never like to take any player out that's doing extremely well," Farrell told MLB's official website. "You feel like he's played every inning since sometime back in May. He's deserving of a day off."

The Blue Jays (53-49) have won four of five after Jose Bautista had two hits for the second straight night, delivering an RBI double and a solo homer.

It marked the first homer in 16 games for the AL captain of the Home Run Derby and the first time he had multiple hits in back-to-back contests since June 4 and 5.

"He's due to heat up in the home run department," Gibbons said.

Toronto has averaged 5.4 runs over its last five, and now Red Sox starter Rubby De La Rosa will look to hold its lineup in check.

De La Rosa (3-2, 2.64) allowed one run and five hits in 14 innings over his final two starts before being sent to the minors June 28. He was dominant again Saturday to win his second start since being recalled July 9, giving up a run and five hits through seven innings of Saturday's 2-1 victory over Kansas City.

"He projects a great mound presence," Farrell said. "He has all the abilities to be an upper-end rotation pitcher. Through consistent performance, that should play out, but he's in a pretty good place right now."

The right-hander, though, is 0-2 with a 4.42 ERA in three road starts compared to 3-0 with a 1.38 ERA in four starts at Fenway Park.

De La Rosa will be making his first start against the Blue Jays, who have won six of the last seven meetings.
