The Toronto Blue Jays (6-8, 6-5 Home) will go for the series win today when they host the Minnesota Twins in Game 3 of their three-game series. First Pitch at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, is scheduled for 1:37 p.m. EST with coverage provided by MLB.TV.

Minnesota held a 4-0 lead after tacking a run on in the top of the fourth inning in Game One Friday, but the Blue Jays responded with five in the bottom half and scored in each subsequent inning. They scored the final run in the bottom of the eighth to make the score 10-4. But in Game 2 on Saturday, it was the Twins lineup that won the day, outscoring the home team, 7-4.

Toronto will send Max Scherzer to the mound to start the day. Scherzer is 1-1 after two starts with a 3.38 ERA and six strikeouts. He had a solid six-inning outing in his first start, giving up four hits and one earned run. But he got pulled quickly in his second outing, lasting just two innings against the Dodgers, giving up two hits (one home run) and two earned runs.

Taj Bradley will start for the Twins. Bradley is 2-0 in three starts with a 1.08 ERA, 22 strikeouts, and a 1.08 WHIP. He went 6+ innings in his last two starts, giving up 11 hits and one earned run while striking out 13.
