The Cardinals try to knock off the Phillies in Philadelphia, the Jays meet the rival Rays, and the CFL serves up two contests.

Colliding in the Junior Circuit . . .

Roy Halladay (11-3, 2.73 ERA) will get the ball for the Blue Jays on Friday night as they play host to the Rays and Matt Garza (6-7, 3.80 ERA). Righthander Halladay impressed his potential suitors last time out, holding the Red Sox to one earned run on six hits over nine innings of work in a victory. Righthander Garza had to settle for a no-decision versus the Royals last time out, surrendering three earned runs on six hits in five innings. Garza defeated the Jays back on June 30.

Also on the American League schedule for Friday: Oakland at the Yankees, Baltimore at Boston, Minnesota at the Angels, Cleveland at Seattle, Texas at Kansas City, and a doubleheader between the White Sox and Tigers in Detroit. The Rangers/Royals matchup has Scott Feldman (8-3, 3.87 ERA) taking on Zack Greinke (10-5, 2.08 ERA). Righthander Feldman lost to the Twins in his most recent start, while righthander Greinke hasn’t picked up a victory since June 28.

Clashing in the Senior Circuit . . .

The Cardinals and Phillies begin a series in Philadelphia on Friday night, with Joel Pineiro (8-9, 3.09 ERA) taking on J.A. Happ (7-0, 2.68 ERA).
