KANSAS CITY — This one left a mark that won’t go away for a while. Nor will the stench of a Blue Jays loss so disgustingly improbable it almost defies description.
It’s not just that they fell 5-4 in stunning fashion to the Royals here at Kauffman Stadium on Friday night, the Jays completely ruined a stellar effort from Toronto starter J.A. Happ.
Instead of a big road win on the coattails of a brilliant pitching performance, a helpless Jays bullpen, which for some reason didn’t include closer ace Roberto Osuna, blew it in spectacular style.
And spectacular probably doesn’t even do it justice.
