Game #24 GameThread: Jays @Rays

By Tom Dakers

The first of our weekend series with the Rays. I don't know about you but I could really use a win.

Drew Smyly makes his 5th start of the season, he's 1-2 with a 2.51 ERA. Like Josh Donaldson said, we should be able to hit lefties.

Aaron Sanchez also gets his 5th stats, he is 1-1 with a 3.33 ERA. His last start wasn't good. He had tough time with Oakland.

Justin Smoak is back in the lineup. And I guess we aren't platooning Barney and Goins because Goins gets the start against the lefty. I don't understand that one.

Today's Lineups
