The Blue Jays will turn to hard-throwing pitcher Louis Varland to start Game 4, as Toronto gets a second chance to eliminate the Yankees in the Bronx on Wednesday evening.
Toronto has a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five American League Division Series (ALDS), meaning the Blue Jays can advance to the next round of the playoffs with a win against New York.
The Yankees, on the other hand, face a second day of do-or-die baseball. If they lose, their season is over.
If they win, there will be a Game 5 at Toronto's Roger Centre on Friday that would be a must-win for both teams.
