The Toronto Blue Jays brought in Jose Berrios at the trade deadline to make an impact in big-game situations. Tonight, he'll get a chance to do just that.
Berrios will start against the Yankees, looking to help Toronto weaken the New York's grip on an American League wild-card spot.
The right-hander beat the Yankees in his lone start against them this season, tossing 6 2/3 innings of two-run ball on Sept. 9. He is 2-2 with a 4.79 ERA in four career starts against New York.
Live coverage of the Blue Jays versus the Yankees begins tonight at 7 p.m. ET on Sportsnet.
New York, following its 7-2 victory over Toronto on Tuesday to open the three-game series, will turn to Gerrit Cole
Toronto will start Jose Berrios (12-9, 3.48 ERA). The right-hander is 5-4 with a 3.50 ERA in 11 starts since he joined the Blue Jays in a trade-deadline deal with the Minnesota Twins.

Six pitchers held the Blue Jays to three hits as the Yankees stretched their winning streak to seven games.
Meanwhile, the Yankees got a three-run home run from Giancarlo Stanton and solo shots from Aaron Judge and Gio Urshela.
Stanton has homered in four consecutive games for the third time in his career and he has reached 35 in a season for the fifth time in his career.
"You've got to be prepared, you've got to do your homework and just zone in on what you need to do," Stanton said. "At the end of the day, it's still the same game we've been playing our whole lives. You've got to be able to overcome those moments."
The Yankees (90-67) occupy the first AL wild-card spot with a two-game lead over the Boston Red Sox (88-69), who hold the second spot despite losing 4-2 to the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.
The Blue Jays (87-70) remain one game behind the Red Sox, and they now trail the Mariners (88-70) by a half-game after Seattle beat the Oakland A's later Tuesday night.
