Blue Jays inexplicably no-show crucial series, suffer 4-game sweep to Rangers

It hasn't been smooth sailing for the Blue Jays by any means this season, but this one was especially ugly.

Entering a critical series with the Rangers — one with massive playoff implications in the American League wild-card race — Toronto held a 1.5-game lead over Texas and looked to be surging after winning eight of its last 10.

Boy did those good vibes fade in a hurry, however, as Toronto dropped all four games of the critical set, at home, in ugly fashion — culminating with a 9-2 loss on Thursday night after dropping a disastrous 10-0 decision on Wednesday.
