Blue Jays Pivot Pitching for Wild Card | Toronto Blue Jays News

Toronto Blue Jays are making a bold pitching move for their crucial three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians, sending reliever Spencer Miles to open the game instead of starter Spencer Arrighetti—after Arrighetti struggled early in his last outing. With the team just 1.5 games behind for the final Wild Card spot and riding high after sweeping the Mariners, manager John Schneider says they’ve been playing “post-season games” for weeks. Miles, with a solid 2.92 ERA, will handle the first inning or two while Arrighetti, despite a higher 4.81 ERA, takes over for the bulk of the innings. First pitch is set for 6:40 PM ET—every pitch matters as the playoff race tightens. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
