Streak ends at 14; Davis’ cycle wasted

TORONTO — The Indians’ franchise-record 14-game winning streak was stopped Saturday by the Blue Jays’ sluggers and a contentious replay call.

Initially called out at home during the Jays’ three-run eighth inning, Ezequiel Carrera was ruled safe after a replay review, and the Jays beat the Indians 9-6 despite a cycle by Rajai Davis.

With one out in the eighth, Josh Donaldson lofted a single into shallow center. Carrera had to hold up at second to make sure the ball dropped, and he was called out at the plate. The Jays challenged the call, and Carrera was ruled safe after the review.

“I definitely thought I had him in the leg,” Indians catcher Chris Gimenez said. “The explanation they gave us was his arm got in there before I tagged him. I don’t necessarily think that was the case.”

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said his team “caught a break” by getting the call overturned.

“We liked what we saw, but you never know for sure,” Gibbons said.

Indians manager Terry Francona said he was “shocked” the call was overturned.

“They keep telling us it has to be conclusive,” Francona said. “I will look forward to an explanation that I understand. As of now, from what I’ve seen, I don’t know how they did that.”

Donaldson hit a tying solo shot off the Indians’ Dan Otero in the seventh, then made it 7-6 with his RBI single in the eighth. Michael Saunders added a two-run double. Edwin Encarnacion and Troy Tulowitzki also homered.

Davis became the eighth player in Indians history to hit for the cycle. He led off the game with a homer, tripled home a run in the third, doubled and scored in the seventh and singled in the ninth.
