After hosting one National League team this week, the Jays are set to host a second in Alex Anthopoulos’s Braves.

The evening games will now start at 7:37 to avoid some awful shadows.

Now that Teoscar Hernandez is back from the COVID IL, The Jays lineup tonight is the best they’ve had all season. Springer will DH again, Teoscar is back in right, and no Biggio tonight. Kirk will catch.
