(MLB) It took extra innings but the Toronto Blue Jays lost the rubber game of a three game series last night to the Detroit Tigers. The last three batters of the game walked as relief pitcher Lucas Harrel walked Miguel Cabrera with the bases loaded to give Detroit a 6-5 victory. Jose Bautista, Kendrys Morales and Justin Smoak all homered for the Blue Jays but it wasn’t enough to help Toronto overcome 9 walks and 3 errors. Toronto’s next game is tonight in Boston versus the Red Sox. Marcus Stroman will get the start for the Blue Jays while Eduardo Rodriguez counters for Boston.
