The Toronto Blue Jays homestand proved to be rather disappointing to their fans as the team lost the final game of a three-game series to the Chicago Cubs.The Blue Jays pitching staff struggled tonight, allowing seven runs on 10 hits. After a 2-4 homestand against the Angels and Cubs, the Blue Jays' lead in the American League Wild Card is now two games over the Baltimore Orioles.

"RECAP" -@Blue Jays

Getting swept by the Los Angeles Angels followed by a loss to a struggling Cubs team is not exactly what you want down the stretch of the season.

Blue Jays starting pitcher Mitch White struggled tonight, going 4.2 innings, allowing 6 earned runs. White's ERA is now at 4.67.

Some fans are blaming the umpires for the loss.

Overall, an extremely disappointing loss for the Toronto Blue Jays at home. Having all the talent that the Blue Jays have and not showing up against two bottom feeders in the MLB is concerning.
