Notes:
Jays:
Daniel Norris has toiled for much of the month, though he comes off his first quality start. Norris held Tampa Bay to one run and set career highs with seven strikeouts and seven innings Saturday, but a paltry offensive showing and a faltering bullpen left him still seeking his second career win after the Blue Jays' 4-2 loss. He's received four runs of support over 14 2-3 innings after getting five in a victory in his season debut. Regardless of the lack of a decision, it was an impressive bounce-back performance after the left-hander surrendered a personal-worst four earned runs in 2 2-3 innings of a 5-2 loss to Atlanta.
The Blue Jays had three hits and have 12 runs and 26 hits in the last five losses. The rotation has posted a 6.88 ERA over the last six games
Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson will be someone to watch throughout the four-game series, as he's a career .338 (26-for-77) hitter with four home runs and 20 RBIs in 20 games against the Indians.
Indians:
TJ House is trying to avoid a fourth straight loss after allowing 14 runs, 17 hits and nine walks in 10 innings. The left-hander has been especially disappointing since he went 3-0 with a 1.45 ERA over his final five outings in 2014. House's .421 opponent batting average on balls in play suggests his early struggles have been at least partly due to bad luck, though. Right-handed hitters are 16 for 38 against him with 14 singles.
Cleveland snapped a four-game losing streak Wednesday with its second home victory, 7-5 over Kansas City. Roberto Perez and Michael Bourn were a combined 5 for 7 at the bottom of the lineup, and Jason Kipnis hit his first home run in 68 games.
David Murphy was 11 for 23 with nine RBIs in six games last season against the Blue Jays, who have won three of four series in Cleveland. Carlos Santana has always hit well against the Blue Jays with a .298 average (31-for-104) with five homers and 14 RBIs
