The visiting Toronto Blue Jays are employing some strategy this weekend that extends beyond their series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Toronto decided to take a bit of a risk with its plans regarding its starting pitchers in Pittsburgh, and so far, it’s paid off.
On Friday, Alek Manoah did his part, pitching not only well but also into the eighth inning in a 4-0 win to open the series. That took some pressure off the Blue Jays’ relievers, allowing for a bullpen game Saturday, where Toronto used a total of seven pitchers to improve to 11-5 across its last 16 games.
The Blue Jays will be looking to sweep the series Sunday and will send right-hander Ross Stripling (6-4, 2.94 ERA) to the mound to face Pittsburgh right-hander JT Brubaker (3-11, 4.39).
