After the solid 10-0 thumping at the hands of the Texas Rangers last night, the Toronto Blue Jays will look to salvage the final game of the four-game set tonight. The Jays have been outscored 26-7 in the first three games of the series and head into tonight's matchup a full game behind Seattle and 1.5 games back of the Rangers in the Wild Card race. A win tonight will offer fans a glimmer of hope that this team has a chance at a playoff spot. Hopefully, Matt Chapman's return will help the bats provide the pitching with some support.

Probable starting pitchers

  • Kevin Gausman will toe the rubber for the Blue Jays in the final game of the series. The 32-year-old righty carries an 11-8 record into his 29th start of the year. He'll look to build on the success he had in his last start, a stellar eight-inning, 10-strikeout effort against the Royals. Gausman sits fifth in the American League with a 3.28 ERA and leads the AL with an 11.67 K/9 and 217 total strikeouts.
  • Starting for the Rangers will be right-hander Nathan Eovaldi, who will be making his 22nd start of the season. Blue Jays fans will be familiar with Eovaldi, who spent seven seasons in the AL East with the Yankees, Rays and Red Sox. The first-year Ranger has an 11-4 record with a sparkling 2.90 ERA. The 33-year-old keeps the ball on the ground, with a 51.5 percent ground ball rate, and doesn't give up many home runs with a tiny 0.71 HR/9.
