In Friday night MLB action, the Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays will open up a weekend series from the Rogers Centre. Last night, Jake Bauers delivered a two-run single in the bottom of the seventh inning to lift Tampa Bay to a 5-4 victory over Baltimore. The Rays took two out of three from the visiting Orioles and are a game above .500 overall.

Twenty-five year old southpaw Blake Snell (12-5 2,27 ERA) is one of the most talented pitchers in the majors. Snell made his first All-Star team and ranks seventh in the American League with a 1.07 WHIP.
The Toronto Blue Jays have lost 30 of their 58 home games and come into this series at ten games below .500 overall. On Thursday, Randall Grichuk connected on a three-run homer to power Toronto to an 8-5 victory versus Boston. Justin Smoak collected three hits and drove in a pair of runs for the Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays will counter with thirty-five year old righty Marco Estrada (5-8 4.65 ERA) in the series opener. Last time out, Estrada allowed one hit over seven innings to lead Toronto to a 5-1 victory at Seattle.

Toronto 3B Josh Donaldson (calf) is expected to start sprinting workouts soon. Through 115 games, Tampa Bay ranks 10th in batting average and 22nd in runs scored. For the season, Toronto ranks 20th in batting average and 18th in runs scored. The Rays have been a mess on the road. Final Score Prediction, Toronto Blue Jays win 6-3.
