Notes:
Rangers::
In his only 3 starts against the Jays last year, Darvish went 2-1 with a 3.56 ERA
Adrian Beltre had an RBI single in the first to drive in the Rangers only run. That hit pushed his streak to 12 games. He's 9/27 (.333) with a homer against Buherle
The Rangers have scored 3 runs or less in 7 of the last 11 games that saw them lose their lead in the West go to the Oakland Athletics
Jays:
Edwin Encarnacion has absolutely owned Yu Darvish hitting two homers and hitting .625 in 9 AB! (9/5). Rasmus on the other hand has hit 3/6 against Darvish, but also had 2 Ks against the righty, and Bautista is 0/5
The Jays won 9 of their last 13 games at home, outscoring the opponent by 34 runs (95 to 61)
Mark Buherle is on fire, pitching to a 1-1 record with a 2.84 ERA in his last 3 starts
