The Blue Jays blew a late 3-run lead in a 4-3 extra-inning loss Wednesday at the Philadelphia Phillies. Toronto 1B Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a tiebreaking 3-run HR in the 8th inning, but Philadelphia eventually cashed its live money line of +1600 in the 10th inning. Blue Jays All-Star 2B'Santiago Espinal left the game with left-side discomfort.
