At Rogers Centre
RHP
8-6, 4.64 ERA, 114 SO

4-8, 5.34 ERA, 110 SO
Thornton will head to the hill for the finale against the Yankees, coming off a less-than-stellar start against the Rays on Tuesday, when he allowed six runs on eight hits over 3 2/3 innings.

Norris is 1-5 with a 4.84 ERA in eight starts at Comerica Park this season, despite a lower WHIP and better strikeout-to-walk ratio compared to his road splits. A matchup with the Royals, a team he handled well in Kansas City in June, could help those splits.

RHP
9-9, 4.58 ERA, 105 SO

Phillies @ Giants
At Oracle Park
RHP
8-8, 4.64 ERA, 110 SO
