With Bo Bichette at the plate with a full count and runners on second and third, Minnesota Twins starter Sonny Gray spun and picked off to second, catching an unaware Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to end the threat.
As the Toronto Blue Jays attempt to claw back from a two-run deficit in Game 2 of their wild-card series with the Twins, having Bichette — who was 2-for-2 at the time — up with runners in scoring position offered a golden opportunity to get back into the game.

While the odds were already against the Blue Jays to come back and win the game, Gray’s successful pick play dropped their chances of winning by 7.5 per cent, according to Baseball Savant.
With tensions already high from Toronto’s decision to pull Jose Berrios after three scoreless innings, fans continued to pour out their frustrations on social media after the blunder.
