The Blue Jays have a chance to take the series in today’s rubber match against the Astros. However, they’ll have to do it against one of the best in the game in Justin Verlander.
As today is September 1st, the team had a couple roster moves in addition to announcing the players to complete the Eric Sogard trade which Erik has recapped here.
Here are today’s lineups. Derek Fisher was a late scratch with a sprained ankle, Justin Smoak bats the highest he has all week, and Drury will get the last minute start in left field.
