    ABOUT LAST NIGHT...:Just as in their previous series in mid-July, the Blueeld Blue Jays and Elizabethton Twins had the middle game of three rained out, forcing a doubleheadto nish the set.

    VS. THE TWINS:This is the second and nal head-to-head series of the season. The Twins took two of three from the Jays in Elizabethton last month. Taylor Rogers, J.T. Chargoisand Mason Melotakis combined on a two-hit shutout on July 14. The next days game was rained out and the two clubs split a July 16 doubleheader. The Twins pitched another shutout inthe opener behind Hudson Boyd and Max Keplers grand slam off of Tucker Jensen. Blueeld avoided a sweep with a 14-7 rout in the nale as Eric Arce belted a three-run homer and a graslam. The Blue Jays beat the Twins two games to one to win the rst round of last years postseason and advance to the League Championship Series. In the regular season, they won therst two meetings in 2011, but the Twins won four straight to nish the regular season. The Jays won at Elizabethton on Opening Night in 13 innings on Art Charles game-winning double.Blueeld missed a chance at a road sweep when the Twins rallied for three runs in the ninth to win 6-5. They didnt meet again until the nal week of the season when the Twins swept thrgames at Bowen Field to almost ruin the Jays division-title hopes.

    - TONIGHTS PITCHING PROBABLES -ESTRADA:A native of Valencia, Venezuela, lefty Deivy Estrada goes for the Jays tonight trying to even the series. He has been let down by his defense time and again in 2012. Ininnings, the southpaw has allowed 18 earned runs and 20 unearned runs. He last pitched on Wednesday in Princeton, allowing two solo homers in ve innings. Deivy was in line for the winbut the bullpen lost the lead and the Rays won the Mercer Cup in the 13th inning. Estrada tied a career high with eight strikeouts in a start at Elizabethton on July 16. He allowed one earnerun in three and two-thirds innings, but three errors behind him brought home four unearned tallies in a no decision. He posted a 2.25 ERA in the GCL in 2011, but he had an ERA of 6.94 inBlueeld upon his promotion. He did contribute the clinching victory in the Mercer Cup last year, turning in ve shutout innings on August 10. He allowed only four hits, striking out six withwalking a man. He took a tough loss in the nal game of the Appy League Championship Series when he gave up one earned run in ve innings, but was charged with the defeat. He spent2010 season in the GCL and was in the DSL in 2009 when he Kd more than one batter per inning (48 in 44 IP).

    BOYD:2011 rst-round pick Hudson Boyd starts for the Twins. With a 2.40 ERA, he is tied for second in the league with teammate Angel Mata and Blueeld righty Jeremy GabryszwsMinnesota chose the 19-year-old 55th overall in the supplemental round, two picks after the Blue Jays took former Blueeld CF Dwight Smith Jr. and two picks before the Jays Blueeld RKevin Comer. Minnesota had the pick as compensation for Jesse Crain signing with the White Sox. Hailing from Fort Myers, Boyd won a Florida state high school championship as a seniorat Bishop Verot High School and had committed to the University of Florida before turning pro. He signed for $1 million, well over slot ($653,400) and is armed with a mid-90s fastball and power curve that Baseball America tabbed as the best in the Twins system. With his 6-2, 264-pound frame, he has been compared to Jonathan Broxton. In a win at Johnson City on Thurshe held the Cards to an unearned run in four innings, allowing four hits. He had a stretch earlier this year in which he went 23.3 innings without allowing an earned run. He faced the Jaysthe opening game of a doubleheader on July 16. He pitched four scoreless innings of two-hit ball, but he walked three and was removed an inning shy of netting a win.

    JENSEN:Right-hander Tucker Jensen wowed in six shutout innings at Princeton on Thursday and looks to build on his outstanding outing. He had a no-hitter going before a one-ousingle in the sixth inning. Tucker was the rst Baby Jay to pitch into the seventh this year, but he gave up two singles to start the frame before being taken out in a 3-0 win. Jensen is ve oshort of qualifying, but his 0.97 WHIP would lead the league and his 3.52 ERA would rank tenth. That ERA took a big hit against the Twins on July 16. Jensen pitched perfect rst, third andfourth innings, but he gave up seven runs in the second, capped by a Max Kepler grand slam. Take out that ugly frame and that ERA drops to 1.88. Last year, he allowed 14 earned runs in11.1 innings in four starts for Blueeld. He excelled in eight Gulf Coast League starts to begin his career, pitching to a 1.77 ERA with an 8.9 K/9 rate to earn a one-game call-up to low-A Lasing. Between three levels he struck out 56 batters in 57 innings of work. A decorated hurler at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL, Tucker was named Sun ConferePitcher of the Year in 2011, also earning NAIA Second-Team All-America honors. Tucker is the grandson of 1958 American League MVP Jackie Jensen.

    MATA:19-year-old Venezuelan Angel Mata has been one of the Appy Leagues best this season and faces the Jays for the rst time. Hes tied with game one starter Hudson Boyd anBlueeld righty Jeremy Gabryszwski for second in the circuit in ERA. His 1.09 WHIP is the fth-best among qualiers. He breezed to a victory in Bristol on Friday with ve shutout innings otwo-hit ball. Over two starts on July 23 (at Kingsport) and July 28 (vs. Greeneville), he put up ten scoreless innings, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out 17. Those brilliant outi

    netted him Appy League Pitcher of the Week honors. After signing with the Twins in 2010, he pitched one season in the DSL and one in the GCL.

    ON THE MOVE:The Blue Jays and Astros pulled off a ten-player trade on July 20 that was completed today. Blueeld pitcher Joe Musgrove was included in the deal last month andnow Baby Jays righty Kevin Comer was announced today as the Player to be Named Later that goes to the Astros as well. Toronto acquired RHP Brandon Lyon, LHP J.A. Happ and RHP DCarpenter. Going to Houston along with Musgrove and Comer were RHP Francisco Cordero, OF Ben Francisco, RHP Asher Wojciechowski, 2011 Blueelder and LHP David Rollins and C
