TORONTO — Without Jason Grilli there is no pennant race and now with him the Blue Jays appear to be running on bullpen fumes, running out of time.
Without Roberto Osuna there is no pennant race and on Wednesday afternoon John Gibbons was asked if he was worried about his closer, and he insisted, once again, that he wasn’t.
Without Joaquin Benoit there is no pennant race at all and now his season is over and the Jays manager knows he must improvise and hope and hold his breath and then hope some more.
This is September baseball and the Blue Jays bullpen is crumbling.
