Can the Jays win another series to make it four straight?  They gave a good chance against the Twins.  The matchups are:

 

Friday - RA Dickey vs. Mike Pelfrey

Saturday - JA Happ vs. Kevin Correia

Sunday - Esmil Rogers vs. Andrew Albers

At this point there is not much to say about this series.  The four outfielders will rotate through their positions.  Goins will probably get two or all three starts, DeRosa might start Sunday against the lefty.  Thole will catch tonight, I assume JPA will get the other two although Sunday is a day game after a night game.

The most interesting part could be who gets to come out of the pen.  Will Drabek or Romero get in a game?

 

On the Fan590 I heard an interesting fact about Wednesday's loss in Arizona.  The Jays did not leave a runner on base in an extra inning game.  That hasn't happened since 1970 I believe.  Rajai Davis homered to clear the bases in the first.  After that the Jays had two singles, by Reyes and Lawrie, both erased on double plays.
