“Anytime your bullpen is thin it stresses you out a little bit but we played extra-innings because our bullpen did a great job.' There’s a comeuppance for making the bullpen haul so many innings as the BlueJays saw against the Rays. (By ShiDavidi)

, the only member of the leverage group available, took over with two out in the ninth underlines the depth manager Charlie Montoyo has to work with.

Eventually, though, there’s a comeuppance for making the bullpen haul so many innings, and one of those bills came due in the 10th. Six-game win streak, over then and there. Had Bass escaped that jam, the Blue Jays were down to one arm in the bullpen, so they really needed to win it in the 10th.A contributing factor was that the Rays – who have eight key arms on the injured list – locked down the Blue Jays offence on a night they pieced the pitching together.

The Blue Jays didn’t have another chance until the 10th, when with men on the corners, Shaw hit a grounder right to Brosseau at first. He stepped on the bag and then threw out Biggio at second to end the inning and strand pinch-runner Santiago Espinal at third.
