Game four of this series. It would be nice to win one. No, it isn’t a ‘must-win’ or anything like that. We are still four games up on the Yankees. But it would be nice to win.
Keegan Matheson tells us the Jays are looking to add another bullpen arm before the deadline.
Still no Springer in the lineup. We have Loperfido leading off today. Nathan Lukes has had two hits in his last twenty at-bats (but both were home runs). Maybe that is why he’s getting a day off. Loperfido is hitting .382/.447/.588 in his last 13 games and .474/.545/.789 in his last 8.
It is going to be tough to wait for Kirk to return. The bottom of the order looks weak, but then, without them, who is going to bunt in the first three innings?
