Blue Jays return home to host Devil Rays

Eventually Casey Janssen is going to have to prove he can beat a team other than the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
The rookie righthander looks to build upon his latest impressive outing Monday when the Toronto Blue Jays host the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in the opener of a three-game series.
Janssen (2-3, 3.06 ERA) has won both of his starts against the Angels, yielding only three hits in 15 1/3 scoreless innings. He held them to only two hits over eight frames Wednesday in a 3-0 triumph.
In his other three starts, however, the 24-year-old is 0-3 with a 5.82 ERA. One of those outings came against the Devil Rays on May 12, when he allowed four runs in seven innings of a 4-1 defeat.
Tampa Bay will counter with Seth McClung (2-4, 5.44), who opposed Janssen in that contest and allowed one run in seven innings. The righthander has yielded two runs or fewer in five straight starts, including Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox in which he surrendered two runs in seven frames.
The Devil Rays enter with a season-high four-game winning streak following a three-game sweep of Florida. Scott Kazmir was the star of Sunday's 3-0 win, permitting just four hits in eight innings and striking out 11 against only one walk.
On the other hand, Toronto was swept by Colorado as the team managed just seven runs in the three games. Alex Rios blasted a three-run homer and Gregg Zaun added three hits for the Blue Jays, who had won eight of 11 entering the series.
