Notes: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has played in all 34 Blue Jays games this season. He’ll presumably be available off the bench as a pinch-hitter...Although at first glance it would seem that Ryu and Sixto have little in common, they both wield incredible changeups and use them liberally.
Marlins Lineup
- 2B Jon Berti
- CF Starling Marte
- 1B Garrett Cooper
- DH Jesús Aguilar
- 3B Brian Anderson
- LF Corey Dickerson
- RF Lewis Brinson
- C Jorge Alfaro
- SS Jazz Chisholm
P Sixto Sánchez (2.25 ERA, 3.23 FIP, 29.8 K%, 37.5 Hard Hit% in 12.0 IP)

Notes: After missing five straight games with a stiff back, Aguilar is occupying the cleanup spot. The Marlins offense was inconsistent during his absence, including twice being shut out by the Rays...A sore abdomen for Miguel Rojas paves the way for Jazz’s first career start! The Bahamian shortstop had a .255/.327/.462 career slash line in the minors, including .284/.383/.494 in 94 plate appearances with Double-A Jacksonville following the trade last summer. Eddy Alvarez has been recalled as well.
How to watch/listen/follow
