Eickhoff (4-8) struck out five, usually as Jays chased pitches well out of the strike zone, and walked four. “You usually don’t lose when you give up solo home runs,” Dickey said. On a night when R.A. Dickey mostly did his part, there was no support from the Blue Jays’ offence. As a result, the Jays’ three-game winning streak thudded to a halt on Monday with a 7-0 loss against the Philadelphia Phillies at the Rogers Centre, the first of four interleague games between the clubs this week. In the seventh, the Phillies scored three runs, as Ryan Howard led off the inning with a solo homer.
