TORONTO — The Blue Jays’ bullpen continues to serve up misery on a platter.
For the 10th time this season, the Jays lost a game after taking a lead - the most in the American League.
Leading 3-1 over the Tampa Rays in the top of the eighth, Toronto starter Marcus Stroman gave up a lead off home run to Corey Dickerson and was then replaced by Jason Grilli who was taken deep by Evan Longoria, tying the game 3-3. Dominic Leone replaced Grilli and gave up a two-run home run to Logan Morrison.
In the ninth, Leone gave up a lead-off home run to Derek Norris as the Rays stormed back to defeat the Blue Jays 7-4, Toronto’s third straight loss.
