Another series sweep at the hands of the division rival Tampa Bay Rays has put the Blue Jays yet another step back in their quest to get back in the playoff picture. I’m been uncharacteristically negative with my last couple of articles, but the mounting losses have a way on bringing down even the most optimistic of fans.
That didn’t change a whole lot after the Blue Jays wasted yet another quality outing from J.A. Happ on Wednesday, who threw five shutout innings only to see his team lose another close game. The game was a pitcher’s duel until the bottom of the ninth when the Rays finally scored and won the game 1-0.
