What channel is Blue Jays vs. Nationals on today? Time, TV ...

The Blue Jays and the Nationals tangle on Friday night as a part of an exclusive Apple TV+ doubleheader for 'Friday Night Baseball.' 

Toronto will look to snap out of a funk, as the Blue Jays have dropped eight of their last 11 games following a 12-9 start. They are still searching for more production from their offense, which scored just two runs across the last two games, both losses. 

Vladmir Guerrero Jr. (.683 OPS) and Bo Bichette (.557 OPS) are franchise cornerstones, yet have vastly underperformed. That places a heavy burden on a strong pitching staff, which sends southpaw Yusei Kikuchi (2.94 ERA) to the mound Friday night. 

Despite a 10-14 start to the year, the Nationals are playing much better baseball of late, including a four-game sweep of the Marlins. 

After a promising last few months of 2023, shortstop CJ Abrams is enjoying a sensational 2024; entering play on Thursday, the 23-year-old had seven home runs and a .992 OPS. 

Washington is slated to start veteran left-hander Patrick Corbin, who is winless with a 6.82 ERA on the season.
