Blue Jays waste good Sanchez start as bullpen blows it

TORONTO — - Stop us if you have heard this one before.

Aaron Sanchez is impressive on the mound.

Lefty Brett Cecil is not.

And the Blue Jays lose.

Again.

It was as if some one in the video room leaned on the REPLAY button by accident while watching the third game of the season from when the Jays faced the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg.

Cecil took over for Sanchez in the seventh and 13 pitches later the New York Yankees had the lead.

Chase Headley lined a first pitch single the other way to left, Starlin Castro walked on four pitches, Didi Gregorius bunted the runners over on the second pitch and then Jacoby Ellsbury, looking like Roger Federer, lobbed a ball into left/no-man’s land scoring Headley.
