Final: Blue Jays 2 - Bay Rays 6
It looks like the baseball gods won't let Boston into the play-offs unless they DO SOMETHING --- like win 2 in a row sometime this month!
A bizzar loss for the Jays, errors everywhere, mis-throws, mis-plays - I counted 5 maybe 6 errors if you include throws off line - like for example - Coopers throw to Johnson on the pick off of Upton in the 8th; that should have been the second out of the inning, but instead Kyle was too far from the baseline to effect a convincing swipe tag for the ump. Happens on another play earlier as well. Coopers mis-read of the pop foul was scored an error but in that dome with it's baseball coloured roof - should never be. Weird game.
So, as I said above the baseball gods are holding the Boston's to account, they'll have to win two in a row in these last 5 or they're OUT!

That was nice of Farrell to let Romero try for his career best 16th win...
But I bet the Red Sox don't think it was very nice.

#8 throws his hat maybe out of game? Hickox doesn't throw him. Video is Really close I can't tell, maybe safe.
