This is the third straight road game for Toronto, a team that has disappointed on offense, who is ranked in the middle of the pack in runs and on base percentage. Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin is dealing with lingering issues with neck spasms, causing him to miss Saturday's tilt. Toronto is 4-9 on the road against a right-handed starter and faces a real good one in Jake Odorizzi (3.58 ERA). He has fanned 24 in 27+ innings, while allowing only five walks, and helped beat the Blue Jays in the opener, 3-2, striking out 10 with only four hits allowed. In 2016, Odorizzi has a 1.02 ERA at home in 17+ innings. Logan Forsythe homered along with three hits in Saturday's 4-3 victory and is 11-for-21 (.524) during Tampa Bay's 4-2 run, which included an 8-1 rout of the Yankees as a dog. Teammate Evan Longoria also went deep yesterday, and the Blue Jays are 26-55 in the last 81 meetings in Tampa Bay. Back Tampa Bay.
