BOSTON --- The Red Sox confirmed Friday they have scheduled a pair of exhibition games with the Blue Jays.

Toronto will come to Fenway Park for two contests July 21 and July 22. Both games will be shown on NESN and broadcast on the club’s flagship radio station at WEEI. First pitch on each night will be at 7:30 p.m.

Boston manager Ron Roenicke said earlier this week the club was looking to schedule at least one game prior to its July 24 opener against the Orioles. General manager Brian O’Halloran was tasked with finding a date, opponent and venue.

The Red Sox will ultimately play seven straight home games to begin this 2020 season. They’ll have an off day July 23 before opening the proper 60-game slate with three against Baltimore. Boston then hosts the Mets for its first two interleague games before embarking on a seven-game road trip.
