Pitcher Aaron Loup of the Toronto Blue Jays reacts after giving up a three-run home run to J.D. Tepera is now one of four pitchers manager John Gibbons trusts in a setup role for closer Roberto Osuna. It may not seem like there is room for four in the seventh and eighth, before handing the ball to Osuna. “Obviously it’s nice to have roles in an ideal, perfect bullpen, but right now we have four guys,” Walker said. “With Biagini and Smitty coming back, our bullpen just gets deeper,” Tepera said prior to the Liriano exit.
