 Bautista homered with two outs against right-hander Sam Dyson after
the Blue Jays tied the game in the four-run inning with help from
three Texas errors.
The Blue Jays were playing the game under protest after the Rangers
scored a run to go ahead 3-2 when catcher Russell Martin's throw to
the pitcher inadvertently deflected off Choo Shin-soo's bat and
trickled to the infield.
Rougned Odor raced home from third, but was then sent back which
prompted a protest from Rangers manager Jeff Banister before the
umpires ruled the run stood.
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons argued and booing fans littered the
field with drink containers.
Gibbons asked for a video review and while the call stood, the Blue
Jays said they were playing the game under protest.
The benches cleared twice during the 53-minute inning.
Rangers left-hander Cole Hamels allowed five runs (just two earned)
on four hits while striking out eight in 6-1/3 innings to take the
loss.
Blue Jays left-hander Marcus Stroman allowed two runs on six hits
and one walk in six innings and struck out four.
