The 2012 MLB regular season is well underway with a full month of baseball already in the books. It is still a long road to October baseball but paths are already starting to take shape and many surprises have already occurred along the way. The beginning of the year brings promise but at this point in the season anything can still happen.
The highlight of the day will be when the Toronto Blue Jays visit the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.
In a battle between two AL East rivals, Ricky Romero (5-1, 3.64 ERA) will take the hill for the Blue Jays facing off against Tampa Bay's James Shields (6-2, 3.77 ERA). Both pitchers have had their struggles in recent games but hope to have their control back come this matchup.
With a number of great games to be played on the day, this will be one of the better ones.
