Blue Jays tack on runs after Martinez loses command

Carlos Martinez ran into his first bit of trouble in the sixth and could not escape.

Martinez walked three in the inning, leading to a 2-run single off the bat of shortstop Ryan Goins as Toronto extended its lead to 3-0. The walks were Martinez's first of the afternoon.

Jose Bautista walked to lead off the inning, Russell Martin walked with one out and Devon Travis walked with two outs. In between the Martin and Travis walks, Martinez committed a throwing error on a pickoff attempt that allowed the runners to advance. However, both runs in the inning were earned.
