Blue Jays blow 5-0 lead, lose 8-7 to lowly Rockies

DENVER (AP) — Brenton Doyle hit a three-run triple in a four-run fifth inning, Charlie Blackmon had three hits and three RBIs on his bobblehead night, and the Colorado Rockies beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-7 on Saturday.

Doyle’s two-out triple gave the Rockies a 7-5 lead and Blackmon followed with an RBI single as the Rockies broke a four-game losing streak and won for just the second time in their last 12 games.

“They were throwing me a lot of off-speed and I got a good fastball up in the zone, and that's where I was hunting,” said Doyle, who struck out with the bases loaded in the second inning.
