ST. LOUIS -- Blue Jays manager John Gibbons admitted there is "concern" about Roberto Osuna after the third-year closer was handed his third blown save in four opportunities.
Osuna allowed a game-tying two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning of Thursday afternoon's 8-4 loss to the Cardinals, which went 11. It was the fourth time in six appearances this season that Osuna has allowed at least one run, and his performance is one of the reasons Toronto leads the Major Leagues in blown saves with seven.
Gibbons said before the game that he felt some of Osuna's struggles were related to a lack of work this season after the right-hander missed most of Spring Training with a sore neck.
