The Cleveland Indians Head North of The Border to Play the Toronto Blue Jays
The Cleveland Indians Head North of The Border to Play the Toronto Blue JaysThe Toronto Blue Jays did not get off to the fast start that the Cleveland Indians have, but the bats are starting to wake up.

It’s approaching three years since Jo-Jo Reyes’ last win, but the Toronto Blue Jays left-hander insists he’s not thinking about it.

It might be hard for him not to do so Monday night against the visiting Cleveland Indians, considering Reyes could set a dubious major league record by failing to win in a 29th consecutive start.

Acquired in a five-player deal with Atlanta in July, Reyes (0-4, 4.70 ERA) remains in search of his first victory since June 13, 2008, against the Los Angeles Angels while with the Braves. Oakland’s Matt Keough (Sept. 6, 1978-Aug. 8, 1979) and the Boston Braves’ Cliff Curtis (1910-11) are the only other pitchers to go 28 straight starts without a victory.

Though Reyes is coming off a poor performance, he has been worthy of winning many outings this year. He’s pitched at least six innings and given up fewer than three earned runs in half of his 10 starts.

Reyes has never faced Cleveland.

Reyes might not need his best stuff the way the Blue Jays (27-26) are hitting. Toronto scored 26 runs and pounded out 45 hits while winning three straight over the Chicago White Sox over the weekend. The Blue Jays’ 18 hits in Sunday’s 13-4 victory were their most since a 19-hit effort in an 8-6 win at Minnesota on April 13, 2009.

Toronto will try to extend its season-high home winning streak to four, but it has dropped eight of 11 at Rogers Centre against Cleveland (31-19).

The AL Central-leading Indians begin this three-game series having dropped four of five while averaging just 2.2 runs.

Monday’s scheduled starter, Fausto Carmona (3-5, 4.73), is well aware of how his club can struggle at the plate. He has one of the AL’s lowest run-support averages at 3.11.

In his last start, the right-hander yielded four runs over eight innings of Tuesday’s 4-2 home loss to Boston. Carmona is 0-2 with a 6.97 ERA in his last three outings, but he is 3-0 with a 3.21 ERA in five starts against Toronto.

The bats finally give some run support to Reyes and the Jays beat the tribe.
