Blue Jays can't close deal in Cleveland, lose late again

CLEVELAND - If the baseball season ended today, the Blue Jays and Indians would be first-round playoff opponents.

If this three-game series at Progressive Field is any indication, that could be some first-rate entertainment.

For the second time in the series, the Indians came from behind Sunday for a 3-2 victory with some late lightning on Jose Ramirez’s eighth-inning, two-run home run to take the series victory 2-1.

But over the course of the weekend, there was nothing to choose between these two division leaders.

The Blue Jays nursed a 2-1 lead into the bottom of the eighth, with Marcus Stroman on the mound.
