The Toronto Blue Jays suffered a 3-2 loss against the Minnesota Twins in a 10-inning game at Rogers Centre on Friday night due to missed opportunities. Despite loading the bases in the ninth inning, the Blue Jays were unable to score against Twins pitcher Jhoan Duran. Michael A. Taylor hit a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning to secure the win for Minnesota, ending their five-game losing streak. Toronto left 12 runners on base and this was their first loss in four games. “Our bullpen was good and the defense was solid,” said Blue Jays manager John Schneider. “We just didn’t really get that hit when we needed to.” Ryan Jeffers and Royce Lewis played a significant role in Minnesota’s win. The Blue Jays halved the deficit against Twins starting pitcher Sonny Gray, scoring a run at the bottom half. The game took two hours and 59 minutes to play with an announced attendance of 35,222 on the first night of the Blue Jays’ Pride Weekend. The Canadian Press has reported that the Blue Jays designated right-hander Anthony Bass for assignment before the game and reinstated right-hander Mitch White from the 60-day injured list. The Twins also placed left-hander Caleb Thielbar on the 15-day IL with a right oblique strain.
