Jays:

• Happ allowed one run over six innings in Thursday's 4-2 home win over Cleveland.

• Dating back to April 22, the Blue Jays have homered in 21 of their past 26 games. The 41 home runs since that point leads the American League and is second in the Majors.

The left-hander picked up his first victory since April 3 by surrendering one run over 6 1-3 innings in 9-4 victory at Minnesota on Wednesday. He went 1-0 with a 2.70 ERA in two home starts against the Blue Jays last season.

[Bunchedundies]

Happ in Boston, got a bad feeling bout this.

[reedjohnsonfan]

Don't worry, David Ortiz is left handed.

[Dylan]

Would love to take 2 of 3 this series

[AngryBird]

I'm pretty sure both pitchers will be yanked after four innings. This could be a high scoring one.

[Bunchedundies]

Would love to take 2 of 3 this series

 

Hope so, Jays should be 4-5 games above .500 with the games they have thrown away so far this season.
