Notes:
Jays:
In Stroshow's last start (against the Giants), he went six innings and allowed two runs while striking out five in an eventual 5-4 extra-innings loss
Stroman is 10-2 with a 2.77 ERA at home, and he has held opponents to a miniscule four home runs in 126 2/3 innings. He has beaten Tampa Bay twice this year, tossing eight solid innings in each outing. He gave up nine hits and four runs combined, besting Archer in a season-opening 5-3 victory on April 3 and then holding the Rays to three hits and a run in a 5-1 win on May 1.
The Blue Jays have won one season series (2014) against the Rays in the past nine years, but they have won eight of their past 14 games against Tampa Bay.
Royals:
Archer has had an inconsistent start to the year, but he has put up quality starts in three of his last four outings. In his last start against Seattle, Archer gave up four runs in five innings and tied a season high with four walks in a 6-5 loss to the Mariners.
The Rays Ace is 0-1 and allowed five runs in 11 innings in two starts against Toronto so far this year. For his career, Archer is 5-4 with a 3.26 ERA against Toronto.
This is the second of an eight-game, nine-day road trip for the Rays that will include a three-game stop in Detroit and a two-game stay in Miami. Their lone off-day in the stretch comes on Thursday, so yesterday's blowout was huge for the team.
