The Blue Jays end their 10-game road trip with a three-game set in Georgia.

Series Schedule / Probable Starters

Tuesday at 7:10 pm ET - Mark Buehrle (14-7, 3.72) vs. Julio Teheran (10-7, 4.38)
Wednesday at 7:10 pm ET - David Price (15-5, 2.46) vs. Shelby Miller (5-14, 2.86)
Thursday at 7:10 pm ET - Marco Estrada (12-8, 3.31) vs. Matt Wisler (5-7, 5.60)

Atlanta is just a half-game ahead of Philadelphia for last place in the National League East but in all of major league baseball at 56-88. They won two of three on the road against the Phillies but were swept at home by the NL East-leading New York Mets in a four-game set. Back in April, Altanta took two of three in Toronto but we got an early glimpse of the awesomeness that is Josh Donaldson.

Meantime, the Jays have sent Drew Hutchison to the bullpen after his meltdown in Boston last week and generally horrific performances on the road. The Jays start the series three games up on the second-place New York Yankees after taking three of four in the Bronx Zoo over the weekend to help offset a 2-1 series loss in Boston. The Jays also have Kansas City in their sights as the Royals are just two games ahead of them for the best record in the American League.

Extra Innings

Richard Griffin looks ahead to the Jays' remaining schedule. Also, Los Angeles Kings star/Jays fan Drew Doughty likes his Blue Jays lids and the Jays hope they saw Atlanta's only win during their stay in Georgia Monday night.
