TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays and the Tampa Bay Rays have both changed somewhat since the teams last met.That was May 16-18 when the Rays swept a three-game series from the Jays at Rogers Centre.This time around, the Rays are trying Brad Miller at first base after he played 86 games this season at shortstop and the Blue Jays are using a six-man starting rotation.Shifting Miller from shortstop to first base will make room for Matt Duffy, who was acquired in a trade with the San Francisco Giants. Duffy will be the shortstop when he comes off the disabled list, possibly Friday.There was nothing wrong with Millers bat. He was 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in the 7-5 loss to the Blue Jays while making his debut at first base.He looked very comfortable over there, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. Brad is putting together a tremendous season for us.With the Rays out of playoff contention, he will be given a crash course at the position to see if it is worth pursuing next season.He will presumably be there again Tuesday when the teams meeting in the second game of the two-game series with Rays left-hander Drew Smyly (3-11, 5.14 ERA) facing Blue Jays right-hander Marco Estrada (7-4, 2.92 ERA)Meanwhile, the Blue Jays are pursuing the playoffs and are featuring a six-man rotation for now.The reasoning is to keep both Aaron Sanchez and Francisco Liriano starting.The thought had been to put Sanchez in the bullpen to limit his innings after the acquisition of Liriano in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates last week. Sanchez has been so successful in his first full season as a major league starter that his innings are beginning to pile up.Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker said he is no advocate of a six-man rotation, especially earlier in the season, but he feels that at this time, with this staff, it can serve a purpose. For the time being, it works right now, he said.It will give the starters a breather and adjustments can be made as the season continues.The Blue Jays starters this season so far have done better on four days rest, going 30-9 with a 2.91 earned-run average in 56 starts on regular rest.On five days of rest, they are 10-12 with a 4.64 ERA in 33 starts.Estrada has done better this season on his regular four days rest, going 3-0 with a 2.05 ERA. On five days rest, he is 2/3 with a 4.01 ERA.This is his first outing against Tampa Bay this season but he has been successful against them in the past. He is 1-1 with 0.86 ERA against the Rays in seven career outings, including three starts. He is 3-3 with a 2.68 ERA in 10 starts at Rogers Centre this season.Smyly has had success against the Blue Jays, going 2-2 with a 2.65 ERA in eight career outings against the Blue Jays, including five starts. He is 2-0 with a 0.56 ERA in four appearances, including two starts, at Roger Centre. In three starts against Toronto this season, he is 1-2 with a 4.08 ERA.Being American League East rivals, there are few secrets between the teams.Weve seen each other so many times its just kind of a cat-and-mouse game for now, said Rays starter Jake Odorizzi, who allowed eight hits and four runs Monday and did not factor in the decision.

Its a tough combination for fans and will remain that way until the Redskins win more often. The silver lining for the Skins: Theyre up 12 spots this year, and no longer worst in the NFL.Whats goodThe Redskins highest ranking comes in players (at 76th), and its true that the team has slowly improved their roster under GM Scot McCloughan. They have good talent at receiver, where they hope it has been fortified by rookie receiver Josh Doctson. He gives them three good young targets, including tight end Jordan Reed and receiver Jamison Crowder, around whom they can build. A lot will depend on if Kirk Cousins finishes strong in 2016 and becomes a consistent quality player. But they also have a young line that, if they develop, could provide help for a few years. They do have a lot of work to do defensively -- but adding corner Josh Norman certainly warranted the 39-spot uptick in this ranking.Whats badEver since FedEx Field opened in 1997, there has been a steady drumbeat of complaints (its ranked just 116th this year). It lacks the atmosphere of RFK Stadium, home to their glory years in the 1980s and early 90s.dddddddddddd Its also expensive -- only five NFL teams have a higher cost per game. Maybe thats why opposing fans so often take up quite a few seats, especially for the Steelers and Cowboys games. The Redskins have tried to enhance the experience through better food options and more organized tailgating lots, but for many fans, its prohibitively expensive -- and the team isnt very good. The Redskins already are searching for a new home, but if they really want to improve the experience, they should think about winning.Whats newThe Redskins havent been on a legitimate title track for a long time, but last years winning season (after two years with seven total wins) clearly made an impression on fans: Both bang for the buck and title track jumped 20 spots. But beware: Every time the Redskins seem to turn it around (2000, 2008, 2013), a coach ends up getting fired (Norv Turner, Mike Shanahan) or resigns (Joe Gibbs). The point is, it hasnt only been a long time since Washington won a championship (1991), it has been a frustrating ride; every time the Redskins appear on a certain path, they get derailed. Theres a sense of optimism because of McCloughan, but so many questions remain that its always hard to know exactly which direction their season will take.Next: Detroit Lions?| Full rankings ' ' '
