Friday was an absolute disaster for the Blue Jays in what their worst loss of 2025 was, but Tyler Heineman reached an even greater low point.
One night they could have had a play-off berth in Kauffman Stadium against the royals, Toronto-Starter Max Scherzer could not come from the first inning in a loss of 20-1.
He gave up seven earned runs while he only retired two batters.
Things got worse when manager John Schneider and Pitching coach Pete Walker were cast out of the game, and later the team was forced to use four relievers and two position players to take the hill, including Heineman, a catcher.
To end the 19-run loss, reportedly became the first player in MLB history To allow at least 13 hits and 10 runs in a relief outing of less than two innings.
It was all about 33 litters.
The catcher allowed his first point on three singles before he gave up three more after Jac Caglianone tore a 54-MPH field to the right field for a home run to give the royals a 14-1 lead in the seventh.
The downward spiral only took place for Heineman in the eighth inning.
After a Carter Jensen flew out, he allowed six more points to eight straight hits before he was relieved by Isiah Kiner-Falefa, an infielder.
Heinman previously threw one collection during a 15-1 loss for the Red Sox in June and another in a 14-2 victory over the Rangers in August.
Before Friday he held an era from 9 a.m.
That has now risen to 32.40.
The Blue Jays still lead the Yankees with three games in the Al East while holding the seasonal breaker.
