Inability to tag Aybar at third costs Blue Jays

TORONTO -- What at first seemed like any other grounder ended up being a crucial play in the Blue Jays' 3-2 loss to the Angels on Tuesday.

With the score tied at 2, runners on first and second base and one out in the top of the eighth, Kole Calhoun got out in front of a changeup from Roberto Osuna and cued the offering off the end of the bat toward Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson.

As Erick Aybar broke for third, Donaldson fielded the grounder and attempted to tag the speedy baserunner instead of taking the out at first or second.
