The Toronto Blue Jays (18-14) visit Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay for a three-game series against the Rays (13-16).
The Blue Jays should have had an off-day Thursday. Instead they had to play a doubleheader against Cleveland (to make up the two games that had been postponed last month). Toronto came away with a split.
The Tampa Bay Rays who occupy fourth spot in the A.L.East, 8.0 GBL Boston, have currently won ten of their last fourteen games. This for a team that started the season on a lowly note.
The Jays are third in A.L.East, 4.0 GBL Boston. With the way the Jays pitching was bombarded in that doubleheader with Cleveland, better and more consistent performances are expected from their starters in a bid to spare the weary bullpen.
LET'S GO BLUE JAYS!
