He won his seventh straight decision, holding the Blue Jays to two runs and five hits over 6 2/3 innings.I think the last start was probably the best start of my career, Duffy said. On days like that, I had everything working. Today not so much. Today, I didnt have what I had the last time out, but I had enough. It wasnt as good as the last one, but it was good enough.Sanchez (11-2) hadnt lost since April 22 against Oakland. He allowed four runs and nine hits in six innings.Sanchez still leads the AL with a 2.85 ERA.The Blue Jays opted earlier this week to go with a six-man rotation instead of putting the 24-year-old Sanchez in the bullpen to limit his innings.Its not like I thought he was out there distracted or rattled or anything, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. They just beat him. Nobodys invincible.Devon Travis led off the game with a home run for the second straight night. He also had an RBI single in the fifth after Kevin Pillar doubled.It was a minor frustration, leaving a changeup up after Ive been so good with my changeup this entire season, Duffy said of Travis leadoff homer.
