For the second straight week, a Tuesday night game between the Red Sox and Blue Jays has been postponed due to inclement weather.
Last week’s game was postponed on account of thunderstorms in the Buffalo-area, while this week’s game was postponed because of severe weather conditions in the vicinity of Fenway Park.
Tonight’s #RedSox-Blue Jays game at Fenway Park has been rescheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, July 28, as the first game of a split, 7-inning doubleheader beginning at 2:10 p.m.

Tuesday’s rained-out contest will be made up as part of a split, seven-inning doubleheader at Fenway Park on Wednesday, July 28, with the day cap scheduled to begin at 2:10 p.m. eastern time and the night cap taking place at approximately 7:10 p.m. eastern time.
The Red Sox won the first game of their four-game series against the Blue Jays by a final score of 5-4 on Monday night.
Right-hander Garrett Richards was slated to make his 20th start of the season for Boston on Tuesday, while left-hander Robbie Ray was in line to do the same for Toronto.
Instead, those two veteran hurlers will start the first game of Wednesday’s twin bill, with Sox righty Tanner Houck matching up against Jays lefty Steven Matz in the second game.
Garrett Richards starts Game 1 tomorrow. Tanner Houck gets Game 2.
