#153 - Tampa Bay Rays (85-66) at Toronto Blue Jays (69-83)



Thursday, September 20, 2018 | 7:07 pm
Rogers Centre of Horrors | Toronto, ON

Ryne Stanek (2-3, 2.49, 1.06) vs. Sam Gaviglio (3-8, 5.25, 1.44)


PREAMBLE:

Not again, Ryne Stanek?  It feels like it's about the 10th time he's started a bullpenning game against the Blue Jays so far this season.  He'll probably go an inning and then be replaced by Yonny Chirinos (4-5, 3.89), who will go the bulk of the innings assuming the Jays let him pretend to be Cy Young for a while.

Sam Gaviglio takes the ball for the Jays as he looks to continue his home-field dominance.  He's 2-2, 3.23 at home, compared to 1-6 and close to 8.00 ERA on the road.


NOTES:

Not a lot going on at this time of the year as the team is mostly just riding out the season.  Go Jays.

Ken Giles is 28 today.  Happy birthday, let's get a save opp for you tonight then shove a cake in your face (instead of punching yourself).
