Blue Jays tag Matt Bush with third blown save in ninth

Matt Bush blew his third save as the Blue Jays rallied for two runs in the ninth to beat the Rangers 7-6 Monday night at Globe Life Park.

How Rangers pitchers fared: Austin Bibens-Dirkx allowed five runs, including a three-run double by Steve Pearce to cap a four-run fourth by the Jays but came back and retired the top of the order in the fifth. Justin Smoak tied it at 1-1 with a solo homer in the second and Jose Bautista’s solo homer started the scoring in the fourth.

Tanner Scheppers, in his first outing for the Rangers in 2017, loaded the bases with two hits and a walk in the sixth but got a pop out and fly out to strand the runners.
