"A victory over the Royals not only would get Toronto off a four-game losing streak, it would get them into the MLB postseason. Toronto has had several chances to clinch a postseason berth this week but have come up short on four straight occasions with two losses in Tampa Bay and two more in Kansas City. Blue Jays Magic Number Update: Win and you're in!"
"Toronto is turning to Trey Yesavage to try and get the momentum turning the right way, as the rookie will make his second big league start after fanning 9 batters over five innings in his MLB debut against the Rays on Monday. It's a start that's also being looked as an extended audition for Yesavage to showcase whether he could be an option in the Blue Jays pitching plans come October."
Toronto can clinch a postseason spot with a win Sunday in Kansas City, which would also halt a four-game losing streak. The club had four missed opportunities this week with two losses in Tampa Bay and two in Kansas City. The recent slide followed a six-game winning streak and coincides with the division lead shrinking to two games over the New York Yankees. Toronto has scored only three runs total in the last four games and was limited to more than two runs only once this week. Rookie Trey Yesavage will make his second big-league start and could factor into October pitching plans.
