The Dodgers had a chance to extend their winning streak when two reached safely with no outs in eighth inning but fail to deliver in clutch against Blue Jays.

After six consecutive wins this week, three empty at-bats doomed the Dodgers on Sunday. Despite trailing the Toronto Blue Jays by multiple runs for most of the afternoon at Rogers Centre — in a game the hosts got a big second-inning rally from their offense, a dominant start from right-hander Kevin Gausman and a bunch of dazzling plays defensively — the door to a Dodgers comeback opened in the top of the eighth inning.

Teoscar Hernández struck out after Freddie Freeman was intentionally walked in front of him. And then, Max Muncy watched a deep towering drive die at the warning track, just missing extra bases on a 370-foot flyout to the right-center field gap. That all but sealed the Dodgers’ first loss since last weekend, a defeat in which — well before their close call in the eighth inning — almost nothing seemed to break their way.
