#106 - Tampa Bay Rays (59-47) at Toronto Blue Jays (39-66)



Saturday, July 27, 2019 | 3:07 pm
Rogers Centre | Toronto, Ontario

Andrew Kittredge (opener, 1-0, 2.55, 1.25) and Jalen Beeks (the bulk, 5-1, 3.69, 1.33)
vs.
Ryan Borucki (0-1, 3.86, 2.36)


PREAMBLE:

The opener of this three-game series went as predictable as you'd expect with the Rays employing a opener and then shutting down the Jays to merely 1 run.  Guess what... the Rays are going with an opener again!

Ryan Borucki makes his second start since being activated off the IL, and he'll face the tandem of Andrew Kittredge and Jalen Beeks.  Borucki pitched decently in three starts against the Rays last year, but still came out winless: 0-3, 3.86.  


NOTES:

Friendly reminder that this will be my last game thread for two weeks.  I'll be away for three of the next four weeks (today to Aug 11, again from Aug 17 to 24).  Be good, y'all.
