They went ahead 5-2 an inning later, constructed around a trio of slick stolen bases by Santiago Espinal, Whit Merrifield and George Springer. Except nothing is ever safe as houses around the Jays. Third time through the order, Springer lined a 2-and-0 cutter into the Jays bullpen, ushering Espinal across the plate ahead of him to tie the game 2-2 in the fifth. It was more of the same for the Jays in the bottom of the fourth. With one out, Brandon Belt walked and Chapman doubled, so runners on second and third.
