The Toronto Blue Jays look for the series win over the Houston Astros in the finale of a three-game set at Rogers Centre.
On Wednesday the Blue Jays seemed to be poised for yet another comeback win when erased a two-run deficit in the eighth inning to tie the game at two.
However Jeff Hoffman gave up a go-ahead solo shot to Yainer Diaz in the ninth inning and the Blue Jays didn't have a second rally in them, falling 3-2.
Today they have a chance to redeem themselves with a series win over the Houston Astros.
Blue Jays veteran Kevin Gausman is on the bump versus Astros starter Cristian Javier. First pitch is at 3:07 PM ET on Sportsnet and TVA Sports.
