Toronto Blue Jays close out dismal homestand with 8-1 loss to Angels
TORONTO — Perhaps a change of scenery is just what the Toronto Blue Jays need right now.
A dismal 1-6 homestand was capped Thursday afternoon with an 8-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. The Blue Jays (23-27) have dropped nine of 11 games overall and 14 of their last 18 games at Rogers Centre.
The players packed up right after the latest loss for a flight to Philadelphia ahead of a nine-game road trip.
“I’m ready to get on the road, there’s no doubt,” said Toronto manager John Gibbons. “This was a brutal homestand for us.”
