On Monday, the Toronto Blue Jays gracefully celebrated the return of Santiago Espinal by giving him a heartfelt standing ovation in his first at-bat against his former club. Espinal and the Cincinnati Reds would go on to ride that momentum in a 6-3 win over the Blue Jays. Toronto will aim to even up the series on Tuesday as they play the second game of the three-game set at Rogers Centre.

Probable starting pitchers

  • The Blue Jays will send José Berríos to the mound, as he will be making his 26th start of the season. Berríos has been putting together a solid 2024 season, posting an 11-9 record with a 3.85 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, along with 116 strikeouts in 149.2 innings pitched. With a career 0-2 record with a 5.27 ERA and 1.46 WHIP facing the Reds, he will have his work cut out for him on Tuesday as he looks for his first ever win against Cincinnati.
  • The Reds will counter with 26-year-old right-hander Carson Spiers. After starting the year in a relief role for the Reds, Spiers has pitched primarily as a starter for the club in recent months. On the season, he has compiled a 4-4 record with a respectable 4.55 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, together with 61 strikeouts in 65.1 innings of work over 14 games, including eight starts.
