Again, bases loaded if he stayed at third wouldve changed the dynamic for the Twins in that inning and the game, and had much better odds of the Jays getting that single run and or more that inning, and then it's game on.
Instead no run, 2 other runners left on, and deflating to the dugout for coming up empty after getting those runners on, in a 3 run game.
Jays will win tomorrow, hopefully handily so the pen gets decent rest for Thursday.

Look at the replay. Correa wasn't backing him up, he didn't break for the ball until it was muffed. As for the stop sign, that kind of play is not a third base coach call. It's up to the player watching the ball. If you're waiting for the third base coach, it's already too late. And honestly if you're too "deflated" to play after a runner is thrown out at home then it's probably not in the cards for you as a team.
One team made more plays than the other, so the series is 1-0.
