EDGE Analysis
McFarland entered in the sixth charged with protecting a 4-3 lead and with Kevin Pillar on first, but proceeded to surrender a hit, two walks, two sacrifice flies, and a three-run homer to Edwin Encarnacion over the first six batters he faced. The Blue Jays held an 8-4 lead by the time they'd finished knocking him around, an advantage they wouldn't relinquish. It was the 27-year-old's first poor performance since being recalled from Triple-A on June 1, a he'd fired three innings of scoreless ball over his first two appearances.
