Toronto (76-79) at Boston (91-64), 7:05 pm EDT

BOSTON (Ticker) -- The defending World Series champions are tied for first in the American League East Division with all seven remaining games at home.

The Boston Red Sox look to raise their record to 51-24 at Fenway Park this year when they start a four-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday.

Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon homered twice as the Red Sox finished a three-game sweep at Baltimore with Sunday's 9-3 victory to remain tied with the New York Yankees for first place.

In an injury-plagued season, Curt Schilling (7-8, 5.89 ERA) is 3-5 with a 6.19 ERA as a starter. However, he has won two of his last three outings, including Tuesday's victory at Tampa Bay, when he surrendered two runs and six hits in seven innings.

The Blue Jays turn to Dave Bush (5-10, 4.45), who opened the season with five straight losses. He yielded three runs and three hits in 3 1/3 innings of Wednesday's defeat against Seattle, his third loss in four outings.

Eric Hinske had three hits, including his 13th home run for Toronto, in Sunday's 8-4 loss to the Yankees.

Boston won two of three against the Blue Jays from September 12-14 but trails the season series, 9-5.
