Blue Jays have new vulnerability exploited by Rays

After losing nine of their last 11 games, the Toronto Blue Jays seem to be springing leaks left, right and centre.

From the underperformance of Alek Manoah, to the inconsistency of the team's relievers, to an offence that hasn't found it's footing, there is plenty of blame to go around.

When the Tampa Bay Rays won three of four against Toronto this week they shone a light on a subtle but important issue: the Blue Jays can't slow down the running game.
