'Pen scuffles in 11th as Blue Jays swept at home

TORONTO -- A three-run eighth inning rally from the Blue Jays tied the game, but Toronto fell apart in the 11th inning, surrendering six two-out runs in a 12-6 loss to the Twins on Wednesday afternoon at Rogers Centre

After two quick outs, Jake Petricka loaded the bases in the 11th inning before a slider got away from him and plunked Max Kepler to score the go-ahead run. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons had some words with home plate umpire Sean Barber on his way to the mound for a pitching change. Barber promptly ejected Gibbons, and the game quickly deteriorated for Toronto.
