RHP Chris Archer (2-1, 3.94) vs. RHP Marco Estrada (0-1, 2.70) KEY PLAYERS Souza vs. Bautista A pair of right-fielders with dissimilar starts. Steven Souza leads the Rays in runs (14), hits (29) and RBIs (17) in 23 games. Jose Bautista, on the other hand, was hitting just .145 (11-for-76), with one home run, before Thursday’s doubleheader in St. Louis. He warmed up a little bit on the road trip with three multi-hit games, his first of the season. NEED TO KNOW Tampa Bay won the first series between the clubs 3-1 in early April . . . Watch for Aaron Sanchez, currently on the 10-day disabled list with a blister problem, to be back with the Jays, and in the starting rotation, as early as Sunday. UP NEXT At New York Yankees for three games, starting Monday. Laura Armstrong
