The Jays didn’t want Louis Varland working for the third time in four days, so it was Rogers in the ninth today after Jeff Hoffman got the final two outs in the eighth. Rogers ended up allowing three singles to the first four batters he faced, loading the bases with one out. Joey Loperfido then reached on catcher’s interference to force in a run, and Cam Smith followed with a game-tying sac fly. Rogers also had a miserable outing Friday in which he allowed five unearned runs after entering a blowout loss, and he’s given up multiple hits in three straight appearances. That’s very much unlike him, but he still has a 1.91 ERA overall.
