TORONTO – Getting early three-run homers from Willy Adames and Travis d’Arnaud to take a seven-run lead into the sixth inning against a Blue Jays team that is one of the worst in the American League should have made for a good day for a Rays team that considers itself legit playoff contenders.
Instead they watched it all slip away into one of their biggest bullpen blowups and arguably one of their worst losses of the season, losing 10-9 in 12 innings.
Teoscar Hernandez hit a homer off Emilo Pagan to win it.
What was still a 9-5 margin disappeared in the ninth when Oliver Drake allowed the first two to reach and gave up a three-run homer to Vlad Guerrero Jr.
