Shortly after the Blue Jays forced a decisive Game 5 in the American League Division Series, Toronto and Texas revealed their starters for the elimination playoff.
As expected, it will be a rematch of Game 2, with the Rangers sending lefty Cole Hamels to the mound opposite Blue Jays right-hander Marcus Stroman.
Both pitchers completed seven innings during last Friday's 14-inning marathon, allowing four runs apiece in the Rangers' 6-4 win.
| PITCHER | IP | H | R | ER | BB | SO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stroman | 7 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 5 |
| Hamels | 7 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 0 | 6 |
After the Blue Jays' 8-4 win, manager John Gibbons told reporters that David Price will be unavailable for Wednesday's Game 5. Price threw 50 pitches over three innings of relief Monday to collect the win.
First pitch Wednesday is scheduled for 4:07 p.m. ET from Rogers Centre.
