An exchange of beanballs and the two dugout-clearing incidents that followed couldn’t provide it, but a night off for Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna did. Happ, the Blue Jays were three outs away from slithering away with a 3-2 win and the sweep. “We played the game of baseball, we got in a scuffle, they came back, we made a push, we lost the game,” Jays catcher Russell Martin summed up succinctly. Things escalated in the second inning when Happ plunked leadoff man Chase Headley on his second pitch, clearing the benches for the first time. After the game, Gibbons mentioned teams taking liberties with the Blue Jays stars.
