Fri Jun 13 21:50:00 UTC 2025: **Blue Jays Soar into Philadelphia for Series Against Phillies**
**PHILADELPHIA, PA** – Riding a wave of momentum, the Toronto Blue Jays begin a three-game road series against the Philadelphia Phillies tonight at Citizens Bank Park. The Jays, fresh off a sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals, have won 12 of their last 14 games, propelling them to a 38-30 record and a coveted wild-card spot in the American League. They are currently 4.5 games behind the New York Yankees for the AL East lead.
Kevin Gausman (5-4, 3.87 ERA) will take the mound for Toronto, making his 14th start of the season. Gausman is looking to bounce back after two consecutive no-decisions, the most recent coming against the Minnesota Twins where he lost a no-hitter bid in the fourth inning.
The Phillies will counter with left-hander Ranger Suarez (4-1, 2.70 ERA). Suarez is coming off his first loss of the season.
The Blue Jays will look to continue their comeback prowess; they lead the AL with 21 comeback wins this season. However, their lineup may be slightly hampered as Ernie Clement is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury sustained during Wednesday’s game.
Fans can catch all the action live on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+ starting with Blue Jays Central at 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT.
