Since 2010, Tampa Bay has won 29 series against Toronto (29-13-6, .667), their most series wins against any single opponent in that span. Toronto's corresponding .333 series winning percentage is their worst against any AL opponent since 2010.

The Blue Jays are scoring 7.72 runs per game in wins (second-highest in MLB), but just 2.43 runs per game in losses. That 5.29 run differential is second-highest among AL teams (Angels, 5.30). The Rays' 4.56 run differential ranks third in the AL (7.00 in wins, 2.44 in losses).

The Rays lost six of their first seven at home in 2018, averaging 2.57 runs in those games. They have since won five of their last six at home and averaged 6.66 runs per game. They are returning to Tropicana coming off an eight-game road stretch.

J.A. Happ is striking out 12.5 batters per nine innings in 2018, fourth highest in MLB. He has recorded at least eight strikeouts in each of his past five starts, tying him with Max Scherzer for the longest active streak in MLB of starts with 8+ Ks.

Andrew Kittredge has made just two career starts (both against Boston), allowing 3 runs in 5.1 innings with a WHIP of 1.13. That 3.38 ERA as a starter is better than his career ERA as a reliever, even though he has only allowed more than a single earned run just twice in 22 relief appearances.

Wilson Ramos (11) and C.J. Cron (10) are the only AL players currently on double-digit game hit streaks. Ramos' .316 batting average as a catcher is leading MLB among players while playing behind the dish.

HP - Bucknor, 1B - Rehak, 2B - O'Nora, 3B - Culbreth

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Toronto is settling down into a more normal one-game-a-day schedule, and the Blue Jays hope that helps them return to their winning ways.
Playing a fourth game in three cities in three days, Toronto lost 6-2 to the Rays on Friday, but the Blue Jays will have a more traditional rest for Saturday's second game of the series. A rain delay and an 11-inning, five-hour game as part of a doubleheader Thursday night meant Toronto didn't arrive in St. Petersburg until nearly 4 a.m. Friday.

Rested Blue Jays get another shot at Rays

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP)  The Tampa Bay Rays are putting a major league-worst 1-8 start behind them.
Denard Span drove in his team-leading 24th run to help the surging Rays beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 on Saturday night.
