I love me some Joe Walsh, and I love me some baseball in Colorado.

A day after the Jays ran up the score against the Rockies, they’ll be back looking to do the same again tonight.

The Jays will send Yusei Kikcuhi to the mound across from Ty Blach, a 32-year-old journeyman lefty who has posted a 3.94 ERA this season in seven starts and 14 games. With a 128 ERA+, Blach will be the toughest pitcher the Jays face this weekend, and his ERA actually is better at home sitting at 3.72.

He, however, has issues in lefty-lefty matchups, so Daulton Varsho and Kevin Kiermaier — both of whom have excelled in such spots this year — will be looked to at the bottom of the order to keep the order rolling.

First pitch: 8:10 p.m EST — Sportsnet, Sportsnet 650.

Toronto Blue Jays: 74-61, 9.5 GB, 19 E#, 1.5 WCGB, +68 DIFF.

Colorado Rockies: 49-85, 34.0 GB, E E#, 20.5 WCGB, -201 DIFF.

Moneyline: TOR -200; COL +170.
