For the Indians, the All-Star break could not come at a better time.
The Tribe was rolling following Travis Hafner's walk-off grand slam on Thursday, but the team has since lost 3 consecutive games.
Sunday afternoon saw the Indians drop out of 1st place as Carlos Carrasco allowed 5 runs in his 3 innings of work.
The Blue Jays scored all 5 of their tallies off Carrasco in the top of the 3rd. Eric Thames crushed a 2-run homer, J.P. Arencibia hit a RBI single, and Corey Patterson contributed a 2-run double.
Jose Bautista's 2-run double in the 6th effectively ended the Tribe's hopes of a series split.
The Cleveland offense continued its week-long trend of leaving small villages on the base paths. The Indians stranded 13 runners, helping Brett Cecil, who pitched 6 frames of 1-run baseball, earn the victory.
Jack Hannahan's 6th inning RBI single enabled the Tribe to avoid the shutout.
