The final road trip of the season is underway as the Jays are in Baltimore to take on the Orioles and old friend Dwight Smith Jr. Only four more wins to go to avoid 100 losses. Let’s do it!
Get ready for all the openers:
Charlie Montoyo says that Clay Buchholz is the only #Bluejays pitcher guaranteed to not throw behind an opener these last two weeks. They’re trying to cut innings with Thornton, Waguespack, Kay and Zeuch the rest of the way.

On the #ExtendKenGiles front...
As per @MaxWildstein: “Ken Giles’ slider has a -1.10 FIP. That’s the best FIP for a pitch thrown at least 200 times by a pitcher this season, so that means Ken Giles’ slider is the best pitch in baseball.”
