RHP Litsch goes for third straight win for Jays

Sep 29, 2007 - 1:05 PM Tampa Bay (65-95) at Toronto (82-78) 1:07 pm EDT

TORONTO (Ticker) - Rookie Jesse Litsch looks to end his season on a positive note when the Toronto Blue Jays meet the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Saturday.

Litsch (7-9, 3.94 ERA) goes in search of his third consecutive winning decision after limiting the playoff-bound New York Yankees to one run over 7 2/3 innings in Monday's 4-1 win.

The righthander is 1-1 with a 2.31 ERA in two starts this season against Tampa Bay. Matt Stairs hit his 21st homer and Adam Lind also went deep to help the Blue Jays rally for a 5-4 triumph over in Friday's series opener.

Tampa Bay counters with Edwin Jackson (5-15, 5.96), who tries to capture back-to-back wins for the first time this campaign. In his last outing, Jackson allowed three runs and five hits over 5 1/3 frames in beating Boston.

Jackson is 0-2 against Toronto this season.
