Blows save in 11th frame

Estrada (1-3) was charged with the loss and a blown save Thursday against Toronto, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk while retiring one batter in the 11th inning.

Analysis

Estrada didn't get the Padres' first save opportunity of the game -- that went to closer Robert Suarez, who allowed the Blue Jays' automatic runner to score in the bottom of the 10th to tie the game. After San Diego posted a run in the 11th, Estrada came in and gave up a game-tying triple on his second pitch, before Nathan Lukes singled home the winning run for Toronto. Estrada has just one save in his career, but he's been effective in a high-leverage role for the Padres as he ranks second on the team with nine holds while compiling a 2.86 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB over 22 frames on the season.
