It’s a Sunday Funday Rubber Match day! Today, the Jays are going for the series W behind Steven Matz. With the Jays win yesterday and the Yankees loss to the Red Sox, the Jays have moved up to 3rd place in the AL East standings, which....is delightful.
This is pretty impressive, considering how tough their schedule has been so far and the number of injuries they’ve had:
The #Bluejays are now 30-26, their best 56-game start to a season since 2016 (also 30-26)

Here are today’s lineups. Tellez is back in at first, Panik bats 6th and Jansen will catch this one.
