The Toronto Blue Jays will send ace Jose Berrios to the mound Thursday in the series finale against the host Kansas City Royals, aiming to avoid their first series loss since dropping two out of three to the New York Yankees from April 5-7. Berrios has been outstanding this season, posting a 4-0 record with a 0.85 ERA. He has not allowed a run in his last three outings, covering 19 2/3 innings. The Blue Jays’ bats have struggled as of late, but they will need to produce runs against Royals starter Cole Ragans, who has a 0-2 record with a 4.32 ERA. The Royals have run the bases aggressively in this series, executing hit-and-runs and double steals to take two of the first three games.
