Daulton Varsho tried to energize the Blue Jays by laying out for a Mookie Betts liner on the game’s fifth pitch, only for it to touch green a few feet in front of him and skip toward the wall for a triple. Ernie Clement tried to ambush a first-pitch heater from Tyler Glasnow right after replay extended the second by detecting catcher’s interference on Cavan Biggio, only to roll over it for an inning-ending groundout. Bo Bichette made a great sliding grab and throw to nab Teoscar Hernandez at first to end the seventh and save a run, but at the plate just missed crushing Glasnow fastballs in the first and fifth, producing 663 feet of out.

And so it went for the Blue Jays in a 4-2 setback to the Dodgers on Saturday, their fifth straight loss, sixth in seven games and 19th consecutive outing with five runs scored or less.
