Last Meeting ( Jul 2, 2011 ) Philadelphia 5, Toronto 3

THE STORY: The Toronto Blue Jays will attempt to do something Philadelphia Phillies lefthander Cliff Lee's last three opponents have been unable to - score a run. Lee enters Sunday's series finale having pitched three consecutive shutouts and has a career-high 32 straight scoreless innings streak. Meanwhile, Toronto slugger Jose Bautista is heating up as he has collected three home runs and six RBIs over his last five games.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies LH Cliff Lee (9-5, 2.66 ERA) vs. Blue Jays LH Jo-Jo Reyes (3-7, 4.77). Lee has thrown a pair of two-hitters over his last three outings, including one against Boston on Tuesday. The 32-year old allowed one run over 42 innings en route to a 5-0 record and 0.21 ERA in five June starts. Lee is only 2-4 in four road starts this season and 2-4 in nine career outings against Toronto. He last faced the Blue Jays on July 21, 2009, when he posted a complete-game victory while with Cleveland. Reyes, who has dropped three of his last four starts, is coming off a loss to Pittsburgh on Tuesday in which he yielded six runs in 3 2/3 innings. It marked the fifth time this season the 26-year old failed to complete four innings. Reyes is 1-3 in seven home starts this season and 0-3 with a 6.99 ERA in six career games, including two in relief, against Philadelphia.

ABOUT THE BLUE JAYS (40-44): Bautista's homer Saturday was his major league-high 25th of the year and extended Toronto's run of consecutive games with a blast to 10. Shortstop Yunel Escobar missed Saturday's game after leaving Friday's series opener with a left hand contusion. Outfielder Juan Rivera has six career hits against Lee, three of which have been home runs, while outfielder Rajai Davis is 4-for-8 against the southpaw.

ABOUT THE PHILLIES (53-31): Lee enters Sunday with the third-longest scoreless streak in franchise history. Grover Alexander tossed 41 scoreless innings in 1911 and reliever Larry Andersen had a run of 32 2/3 innings in 1984. Philadelphia tops the National League with a 20-7 record in afternoon games. Righthander Ryan Madson, who is on the disabled list with a bruised right hand, is expected to begin a rehab assignment next week.

FINAL PITCH: "It was a cool experience for me, something I’ll never forget. I was definitely anxious warming up and walking out on the field. It was definitely different. Once the game started, I felt like it was a normal game. But the stuff beforehand, it’s hard to anticipate that kind of stuff." - Former Toronto and current Philadelphia ace Roy Halladay, on the standing ovation he received when he took the mound for the first time Saturday.
