#158 - Houston Astros (99-57) at Toronto Blue Jays (71-86)



Tuesday, September 25, 2018 | 7:07 pm
Skydome | Toronto, ON

Josh James (1-0, 2.81, 1.00) vs. Sam Gaviglio (3-8, 5.18, 1.42)


PREAMBLE:

After losing game 1 of the series to the Astros and having to face Roberto Osuna in the 9th inning, the Blue Jays are looking to get back on the winning track and stop the Astros from celebrating their 100th win on our turf and potentially a division clinch as well.

Sam Gaviglio takes his gaudy (at least by his overall standards) home-field numbers to the mound as he faces Josh James, making his third big-league start.


NOTES:

Well... the Gurriel Brothers reunion fizzled almost as quickly as it started as Lourdes hurt his hamstring while trying to beat out a double-play grounder in the first inning.  That's so 2018.



Not much of a surprise, sadly:
