HAPPy Canada Day, everybody!

The Jays are going for the series win on this incredibly hot and humid day.

Last year's Canada Day matchup featured Chris Sale vs. Francisco Liriano, so this year should be an improvement (in theory).

Here are the lineups for today. Granderson leads off as the DH, and Martin catches on Canada Day. Grichuk is back to hitting below Martin and Pillar for some reason.
