i watched the last 4 innings, and it was bizarre. texas had a runner on 3rd w/shoo at the plate. takes a pitch, and while he's still in the batters box, the catcher's throw hits his bat and starts dribbling toward 3rd. the runner dashes home. initially the ump stops play as the runner is about 2/3 of the way but he continues across the plate. after a conference, the umps, apparently, realize there's an actual rule that says the ball is still in play as long as the batter didn't intentionally interfere (shoo wasn't even looking at the catcher at the time). the rogers centre goes beserk. some fans start throwing molson cans (who would throw molson w/beer still in it??? lol) onto the field. game is delayed 20 minutes while field gets cleaned, and umps actually check w/nyc to make sure it was called right (it was).
that put texas up 3-2 in the top of the 7th. bottom of the inning, rangers ss boots a grounder, rangers 1st baseman throws an easy force play at 2nd into the dirt, a bunt where texas had the runner at 3rd easily is an error when the same ss drops the throw. then a blooper that would have been an easy out for the 2nd baseman turns into a fielder's choice driving in a run because the infield was pulled in. then bautista goes long ball with the only legit hit of the inning, a 3 run dinger to left center. toronto wins 6-3. pretty wild.

Game was there for the taking for the Rangers but you can't give a team like the Jays three extra outs in an inning.
