Let's try this again, shall we? The two teams go at it again for the next two games, this time at the Dome. The Jays trip to Citi Field was a fruitless one, dropping two games by one-run to end an 11-game losing streak and they had to settle for a 3-2 road trip that started with a sweep in Boston.

Series Schedule / Probable Starters

Wednesday at 7:07 pm ET - Jon Niese (3-6, 4.24) vs. Drew Hutchison (5-1, 5.75)
Thursday at 7:07 pm ET - Bartolo Colon (9-4, 4.41) vs. R.A. Dickey (2-6, 5.29)

The Jays are tied for third place with Baltimore in the AL East with a 34-32 record but are just two games back of first-place Tampa Bay and the second-place New York Yankees. The 36-30 Mets are 1-1/2 games ahead of Washington for top spot in the NL East.

The big news in Blue Jays land is the injury status of Aaron Sanchez as his return to the starting rotation remains up in the air. It appears Scott Copeland will get a shot at redemption after taking the loss in New York Tuesday.

Looking ahead, the Jays stay home for a weekend series against Baltimore before hitting the road for three games against Tampa Bay.
