Nerves from Gausman early, but got it back. A fortunate carry on that second HR that Chapman and Vladdy didn't get. Gausman pulled at least an inning too early.
Bullpen did fine but if it goes to three, those extra innings add up.
Bo running through a correct stop sign trying to be hero cost them. The next pitch Lopez threw the next inning was hit hard for a basehit. He was never under pressure but bases loaded would've had him under pressure. A WP or something funky and Jays could've even tied or been ahead, not still down 3.
And, even if they got 1 run there, and the second run, that last out in the 9th doesn't happen because they would keep Springer close to 1st if he was the tying run. Instead being up by 2 that 1B played closer to second and got the out that would've had Springer at 3rd.
Jays obviously need the bats going but nothing scared me about the Twins offensively.
Stupid selfish mistake by Bo.
