If the Jays lose today we could have a unique situation where both teams are 0-1 when leading after 8 innings.

No, they really are not important. Santos and Oliver pitch the same way whether or not this game was tied, the Jays were down a run or up a run. The bullpen has been nothing short of amazing for the Jays this season. The 9th inning is no different then the other 12 they pitched scoreless this season.
