After the Mets tied the game back up at 1, Oswalt worked around a two out Teoscar Hernandez single and tossed a scoreless third inning.

The Blue Jays retook the lead in the bottom of the fourth. Morales roped a double off Michael Conforto’s glove, followed by a Russell Martin one out walk. Oswalt then struck out Randal Grichuk, but Lourdes Gurriel Jr. blooped an RBI single to center to take a 2-1 lead.

Seth Lugo entered the game and worked around a two out Yangervis Solarte double in a scoreless fifth inning.

Lugo bounced back by striking out a pair in a commanding 1-2-3 bottom of the seventh. Lugo returned to the bullpen with three innings of one run ball.

Jerry Blevins retired the first two hitters in the eighth, before being pulled after allowing a Martin single. Robert Gsellman picked Blevins up, as he needed just one pitch to retire the side.

Jeurys Familia set the Blue Jays down in order to record his sixteenth save of the season.
