For the first time in 2020, the Blue Jays are going for the sweep.
Sadly, it’ll be at least 10 days before Nate Pearson makes another start for the team:
#BlueJays manager Charlie Montoyo on Nate Pearson:
— Keegan Matheson (@KeeganMatheson) August 19, 2020
• Pearson came to the team after his start about the tightness
• Not something he'd brought up before
• He'll "go through all the tests"
The Jays really need Tanner Roark to pitch many innings today.
Here are today’s lineups. Gurriel will lead off and DH, Grichuk bats clean up, and both Alford and Espinal will get another start.
