Jays turn to Towers for rubber match
Toronto (76-78) at New York (90-64), 1:05 p.m. ET
After splitting two games with New York, the Blue Jays will play the Yankees on Sunday in the rubber match of a three-game set. Josh Towers, who has won two of his last three starts, will take the mound for Toronto. In his most recent outing, Towers allowed the Mariners four runs -- one earned - and eight hits in six innings. He picked up the win in Toronto's 6-4 victory. The Yankees will counter with right-hander Chien-Ming Wang, who starts for the fourth time since returning from the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation.
Wang's record is 1-1 in three September starts. In his previous outing, he allowed the Orioles seven hits and two runs in eight innings. The Yankees won, 3-2, though Wang didn't factor in the decision.
