First pitch isn’t too far away in an important game for the Blue Jays.
They dropped game one of their weekend set against Cleveland in disappointing fashion Friday night, but got bailed out by the Detroit Tigers walking off the Houston Astros, whom the Jays sit 1.5 games back of.
Hyun-Jin Ryu takes the mound today for the Jays as they look to win game two.
