TORONTO — Blake Snell tripped and fell into some old habits. But he caught himself.
It was the offense stumbling into the quicksand it had largely avoided recently and a couple relievers fumbling away the bullpen’s resurgence that doomed the Padres to a 4-0 loss Thursday against the Blue Jays.
Snell defied what would seem possible by navigating 12 baserunners and allowing just one run in five innings, becoming just the 13th pitcher in the past decade to walk seven batters and allow just one run in a game.
