Scouting Report:
Blue Jays: Litsch pitched the nightcap of Tuesday's day-night doubleheader against the White Sox and will do the same Saturday against the Red Sox. He scattered six hits over seven innings and allowed two runs to pick up his 11th win of the season. He's been dominant since his return from a short Minor League stint, allowing just five earned runs over 35 2/3 innings. He has faced Boston twice this year with great success, going 2-0 with a 1.64 ERA in those starts.

Red Sox: It seems like ages since Colon took the hill for the Sox, but the 2005 Cy Young Award winner is back and ready to make a
stretch-run impact. Colon last pitched on June 16 against the Phillies before heading to the disabled list with stiffness in his lower back. He's pitched
admirably for Triple-A Pawtucket during his rehab starts, going 1-1 with a 2.51 ERA in seven starts -- including a postseason start against
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. That particular start against the Yankees in the Governors' Cup semifinals was his finest -- a 7 2/3-inning performance, allowing no
runs on just two hits.
