Blue Jays' Yariel Rodriguez: Allows one run in tough-luck loss
Rodriguez (1-5) took the loss against the Athletics on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
Rodriguez was locked in a pitcher's duel with Osvaldo Bido before surrendering a solo homer to Brent Rooker in the sixth inning, and that was all the Athletics would need for the win. Rodriguez reached a season-high 85 pitches and has yielded two earned runs or fewer in nine of 12 starts this season. The 27-year-old owns a 3.60 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 52:25 K:BB across 50 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Cubs next week.

The 26-year-old owns a 4.88 ERA and 1.46 WHIP through 24 innings in the minors this year, and he's allowed seven earned runs in just 6.1 big-league frames.

Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Strikes out eight in win
Berrios (10-9) earned the win against the Athletics on Friday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk with eight strikeouts over seven innings.

He has been inconsistent since the All-Star break, posting two seven-inning victories but also yielding eight earned runs across 9.2 frames in his other two outings.

Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Crosses plate three times in win
Varsho went 1-for-2 with two walks, three runs scored and an RBI in Thursday's win over the Orioles.
Batting second ahead of the red-hot Vladimir Guerrero paid off for Varsho, as the 28-year-old outfielder set a new season high in runs in a single game. He's showing more life at the plate of late, and over his last 12 games Varsho is slashing .237/.333/.447 with two doubles, two homers, a steal, eight RBI and nine runs.
