Axford gets nod for first career start, vs. Sox
Right-hander John Axford (4-1, 4.69 ERA) will make the first start of his Major League career as the Blue Jays go with a "bullpen day" tonight at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago. The outing originally belonged to lefty J.A. Happ, but since he was traded to the Yankees on Thursday, Axford gets an opportunity for a career first. The White Sox will counter with right-hander Lucas Giolito (7-8, 6.09). First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET.
