The Red Sox will look to help Tim Wakefield to his 200th career win on Wednesday night in Toronto, and a few members of the Sox lineup probably really like their chances.
That's because Brandon Morrow is on the mound for the Blue Jays, and that usually means good things for the top three hitters in the Red Sox order. Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia and Adrian Gonzalez have combined to hit .469 (15-for-32) in their careers against the righty.
The dominance against Morrow doesn't end their for the Sox, either.
Marco Scutaro is back in the lineup at shortstop, and he carries a .556 (5-for-9) average against Morrow and David Ortiz is a .455 (5-for-11) hitter against the right-hander. Both Scutaro and Ortiz had four hits on Tuesday night in a 14-0 Boston win.
