Blue Jays and Rays begin Wild Card Series at 5 pm Eastern on Tuesday

The Blue Jays will begin their participation in the 2020 Major League Baseball Postseason this coming Tuesday at 5 pm Eastern as they face the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. The team will hold a workout at Tropicana Field Monday afternoon.

Game two will be played 4 pm on Wednesday and game three, if necessary, will be played Thursday. The Wild Card Series is a best-of-three round with no off days in between games.

Because of the expanded playoffs, there will be a record eight postseason games played on Wednesday with games happening all day. Be sure to use one of your saved vacation days this Wednesday (it’s not like you’re going anywhere anyway).

The Blue Jays games are broadcast on TBS in the United States but those in Canada will be able to catch the Sportsnet feed featuring Buck Martinez on play-by-play and Joe Siddall with him in the booth. I look forward to “GET UP BALL! GET UP BALL!” and “A SWING AND A DRIVE!” next week.

Manager Charlie Montoyo was mum about the Blue Jays’ rotation in the Wild Card series.
