The Rockies and the Blue Jays close out their three-game series this afternoon in Toronto. Kyle Freeland is slated to start for Colorado (1-4) while Kevin Gausman takes the mound for Toronto (4-1).
One night after the Toronto bullpen was drained due to the third inning injury to Cody Ponce, Max Scherzer gave the Blue Jays exactly what they needed – innings. The veteran pitched six innings and allowed just a single run on four hits to lead Toronto to a 5-1 win Tuesday night. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. led the offense collecting a couple hits and driving in a run.
With the series now tied at one game apiece, let’s dive into this afternoon’s matchup and find a sweat or two.
