Blue Jays turn to right-hander Marco Estrada to start Game 1 of ALCS
Toronto right-hander Marco Estrada set the early tone for the American League Division Series in his start last week in Texas.
The Blue Jays are hoping for a repeat performance in the AL Championship Series on Friday in Cleveland.
Manager John Gibbons confirmed Tuesday that Estrada will be the Game 1 starter at Progressive Field.
“I think he was the logical choice,” Gibbons said. “We could have gone with anybody and felt good. But he’s been so good in that role and then we’ll just shape it after him in these next couple days.”
