TORONTO — It all started with a miss.
Kevin Kiermaier’s mishandling of a fly ball to deep left-center field led to a five-run third inning off Corey Kluber on Friday, and another loss by the Rays, this one 9-2 to the Blue Jays.
After Cavan Biggio’s one-out fly ball glanced off Kiermaier’s glove as he attempted a basket catch racing toward the wall, the Jays had runners on third and second base. Kluber walked George Springer to load the bases, then allowed three consecutive doubles — to Bo Bichette, Vladimir Guererro Jr. and Alejandro Kirk — that led to five runs.
