The Blue Jays are going for a series win, and wouldn’t it be sweet to do it against the Rays?
Let’s hope another meteor shower of homers does the trick. All things are possible with Bo Bichette on the team:

Charlie also had this to say about who will close out games for the Jays:
Anthony Bass has all 3 #BlueJays saves since Ken Giles hit the IL, but sounds like Jordan Romano will start getting some save opps, too
— Ben Nicholson-Smith (@bnicholsonsmith) August 15, 2020
Romano (13 Ks in 9 IP, 96.6 mph FB) could be used when Jays need swing & miss. Bass still in the mix, too. Charlie Montoyo: "They're both good"
Here are today’s lineups. With Shaw out, everyone below him moved up a spot, and both Reese McGuire and Brandon Drury will get a start.
