TORONTO — The silence of the Toronto Blue Jays’ clubhouse after another loss Thursday was interrupted by the occasional deep exhale or the sound of clothes being jammed into suitcases. Toronto capped a 2-7 homestand by dropping a 4-1 decision to the Boston Red Sox in a matinee at Rogers Centre. Mookie Betts delivered the key blow with a three-run double in the 10th inning off Jason Grilli. It’s the first time in franchise history that the Blue Jays (3-12) have lost five series in a row. Many baseball observers felt the Blue Jays had a decent chance of making the playoffs for the third straight year.
