NEW YORK – Relief pitcher Mason Fluharty is getting the start for Toronto as the Blue Jays open a three-game series in New York against the Yankees.

Toronto’s relievers are well rested for the bullpen day, with only Spencer Miles and Louis Varland pitching in the Blue Jays’ 5-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday.

New York (72-55) holds the top wild-card spot in the American League with Toronto chasing a playoff spot.

The Blue Jays (63-66) are half a game out of the third and final wild-card berth, currently held by the Minnesota Twins.

Toronto has won seven of its last 10 games and is the hottest team in the AL.

This will be Fluharty’s (5-1) fourth start this season. He has a 3.71 earned-run average with 56 strikeouts over 51 innings pitched.
