The Jays are rolling and will look for another series win this afternoon as they take on the Tigers at home. With a win and an Orioles loss, the Blue Jays will take over first place in the AL East. Aaron Sanchez (9-1, 2.94 ERA) will take the hill tonight against former Jay, Matt Boyd (0-2, 6.44 ERA).
- The Blue Jays are 5-0 in their last 5 home games vs the Tigers.
- Toronto is 11-6 in Aaron Sanchez starts this year.
- The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Detroit’s last 7 road games.
This will be Boyd’s first game since being recalled from Triple-A and he should be a little nervous, given how he has pitched this season and how hot the Jays’ offense is right now. In his last two Major League starts, Boyd has given up 13 combined runs over only eight innings pitched. His last game against the Jays, however, resulted in a Tigers win after he hurled 5.1 innings of three-hit, one-run ball.
Steady as she goes for Sanchez. Aaron leads the league in quality starts and winning percentage. This kid just keeps getting better and better but it’s likely he will soon be sent to the bullpen as he is approaching a yet to be announced innings cap. In his last start against the Tigers, Sanchez pitched eight innings, gave up only two runs and fanned 12 in a Jays 3-2 loss.
