  • Blue Jays Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

    It wasn't so much losing to New York on Friday, but it was how they lost.

    The Jays blew this one in the fifth inning when they allowed the Yankees to score two runs despite the fact the lone hit they collected off Brian Tallet was a bunt single.

    The problem was that Tallet started the inning with two walks prior to Johnny Damon's bunt single that loaded the bases.

    A third walk, this one to Mark Teixeira, brought in a run as did a passed ball by catcher Raul Chavez.

    "I feel bad how we lost," said Tallet, who took the loss. "To walk a guy in and then have another score on a wild pitch/passed ball, it was a heartbreaker."

    Manager Cito Gaston didn't go to his bullpen in the fateful fifth to bail Tallet out.

    "You have to let a guy work out of...
