The Jays didn’t light up Tanaka at Yankee Stadium last week, but they did take him out of the park twice. The long ball has been a problem for Tanaka since his return and now faces Toronto at the Rogers Centre where they have hit a league leading 91 home runs. The Jays counter with Marco Estrada who was nearly unhittable in his last start which were against these very same Yankees holding New York scoreless over 6 1/3 innings allowing just three hits. Estrada doesn’t always go deep into games but he gives his team a chance to win in nearly every outing and recently he has allowed two or less runs in nine of his last 10.
