Today, is a very exciting day.
Because the Blue Jays will be playing their first interleague game of the season. YAY!
Kevin Pillar, Yangervis Solarte and the Giants are in town for a quick two game series. There are a couple other pretty important games happening in Toronto sports tonight, so feel free to also use this as a Leafs/Bruins Raptors/Magic GameThread.
We have some injury updates:

Here are tonight’s lineups. Freddy Galvis’ consecutive games played streak appears as if it will end tonight as he is out with hamstring tightness. So Good Sogard is up top again, Teo gets a night off, and Luke Maile will catch for Trent Thornton.
