GameThread Game #153: Rays at Blue Jays

10 games to go

MLB: Toronto Blue Jays at Boston Red Sox Paul Rutherford-USA TODAY Sports

It’s the first game of the final homestand, and almost certainly John Gibbons’ final homestand as Blue Jays manager.

Here are the lineups for tonight. We have five kids in there, with Jansen catching for Gaviglio and Smoak DH’ing so Tellez can play first. The Blue Jays of the past couple years have had their struggles beating the Rays, so maybe the Baby Jays will be a bit better at it.

Today's Lineups

RAYS BLUE JAYS
Mallex Smith - RF Billy McKinney - LF
Matt Duffy - 3B Lourdes Gurriel - SS
Ji-Man Choi - DH Justin Smoak - DH
Tommy Pham - LF Randal Grichuk - RF
Joey Wendle - SS Rowdy Tellez - 1B
Brandon Lowe - 2B Kevin Pillar - CF
Kevin Kiermaier - CF Aledmys Diaz - 3B
Jake Bauers - 1B Danny Jansen - C
Nick Ciuffo - C Richard Urena - 2B
