Boston Red Sox vs. Toronto Blue Jays FREE STREAMING Online Major League Baseball Game from Rogers Centre at 1:07 PM ET .

Looking to stay hot, the visiting Red Sox try to sweep the Blue Jays for the first time in nearly three years Sunday.

After cruising to an 8-1 win in Friday's series opener, Boston (12-13) held on for a 7-6 victory Saturday, its fifth in seven games at Rogers Centre.

The Blue Jays (11-13) have given up an average of 9.0 runs during a four-game losing streak, a stretch during which opponents are hitting .326 and have a .421 on-base percentage. Starter Brandon Morrow issued eight of the team's nine walks Saturday before exiting with two outs in the third inning.

Toronto has issued 108 free passes, the second-most in the majors.

"We've been walking way too many guys all year," manager John Gibbons said. "That's unlike us."

Toronto will be looking for a better showing from R.A. Dickey (1-3, 5.90 ERA), who took a shutout into the sixth inning Tuesday against Baltimore but didn't factor in the decision after serving up a three-run homer in the 9-3 victory. The knuckleballer has held opponents to a combined .192 average during his first and second times through the lineup compared to a .433 mark the third time around.

"There's a consistent pattern that's emerging where I feel like I'm an All-Star for the first four or five innings of a ballgame, then I get to pitches 75 to 100 and it's like I'm a different human being out there," Dickey told the team's website. "I'm trying to figure out what's that's about physically, but there are a lot of positives."

Dickey is looking to snap a three-start losing streak against Boston after compiling an 8.53 ERA and serving up four homers in two starts last year. Middlebrooks took him deep twice, going 3 for 6 in their matchups.
