Red Sox lineup: Blue Jays get Fenway killer back to face Bello

After a thrilling comeback walk-off victory in Monday night’s series opener, the Red Sox look to keep their scorching streak going Tuesday with Brayan Bello on the mound.

Bello is coming off one of his strongest starts of the season, six innings of two-run ball against the Blue Jays in Toronto.

The Blue Jays lineup, however, got a significant boost between the first and second games of the series: Bo Bichette is back from the 10-day injured list and leading off for Toronto on Tuesday.

The shortstop, son of former Red Sox infielder Dante Bichette, is only hitting .237 with a .629 OPS through 66 games, significantly lower figures than his career .299 average and .827 OPS entering this season. He has, however, hit the Red Sox well over the years: .315 average, .864 OPS, 68 hits, 15 doubles, eight home runs, 38 runs, 40 RBI, and 11 stolen bases in 53 games. In 26 games at Fenway, he’s hit .355 with a 1.008 OPS.
