The Dodgers, however, refused to accept the gift, giving up an eighth-inning lead in a 5-4 loss<\/a> that dropped their lead over the San Diego Padres in the National League West<\/a> to two games. The Padres trailed by six games less than three weeks ago.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is frustrating because I just felt there\u2019s no way we should lose this game today,\u201d Dodgers manager Dave Roberts<\/a> said. \u201cWe had them on the ropes numerous times. And for us not to win is so frustrating.\u201d<\/p>\n How frustrating? The Dodgers were one for 10 with runners in scoring position. They left a season-high 16 men on base \u2014 six in the last two innings.<\/p>\n Every Dodgers starter reached base at least once. Yet they still lost.<\/p>\n Afterward, third baseman Max Muncy insisted the black cloud had a silver lining, even if no one else could see it.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were creating opportunities. So, you know, we were doing the first part of it,\u201d he said. \u201cWe just weren\u2019t cashing in today. The positive you take out of it is we found a way to create a lot of opportunities.<\/p>\n \u201cYou just have to finish the job.\u201d<\/p>\n That goes double for the Dodger relievers. Starter Tyler Glasnow<\/a> was brilliant, striking out eight and allowing just two runs over 5\u2154 innings, turning a 3-2 lead over to a bullpen that had to get 10 outs. Once again they couldn\u2019t do it, with Blake Treinen and Alex Vesia giving up three solo home runs in the span of six batters.<\/p>\n Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow delivers against the Blue Jays in the first inning Sunday.<\/p>\n (Wally Skalij \/ Associated Press)<\/p>\n \u201cYou give good hitters pitches right down the middle, they\u2019re going to do damage,\u201d said Treinen, who came on in the eighth with a one-run lead and left five batters later trailing after back-to-back home runs by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Addison Barger.<\/p>\n \u201cSometimes we get away with making bad locations turn into outs. They made me pay for it and it cost us a game.\u201d<\/p>\n He\u2019s not the only one who had to pay. Because after Freddie Freeman walked with the bases loaded for the second time to tie the game in the eighth, Vesia came on to start the ninth with the score even again. Ernie Clement unevened it on Vesia\u2019s first pitch, driving an 85-mph slider over the wall in left field to put Toronto ahead. It was the 65th homer Dodgers relievers have allowed this season; only two bullpens in the majors have given up more.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
