Bloss had a 6.91 ERA in eight starts for Triple-A Buffalo after being acquired, and he has allowed eight runs (all earned) in four appearances and eight innings of work this spring. Bloss did throw three brilliant innings his last time out, but allowed two or more runs in each of his first three appearances of the spring.

The first six runs the Toronto Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies scored Sunday all came off five homers, but the game devolved into a small-ball marathon by the end.
