Banged-up Blue Jays turn to Sanchez for Game 3 of ALDS against Rangers
TORONTO — The banged-up Toronto Blue Jays have two chances to close out the Texas Rangers at home.
All it will take is one victory to advance to baseball’s final four and get a much-needed break along with it.
Blue Jays right-hander Aaron Sanchez will get the start in Game 3 on Sunday night at Rogers Centre. With left-hander Francisco Liriano (head) and infielder Devon Travis (knee) considered day to day and several other players nursing minor injuries, a three-game sweep would be most welcome.
However, it won’t be easy to close out the American League’s top-seeded team. The Rangers won 95 games in the regular season and will be looking to send a message that they’re no pushover.
