Toronto’s Jose Bautista hit his major league-leading 26th homer, but the Blue Jays lost for the 10th time in 13 home games.

Blue Jays manager John Farrell and reliever Jon Rauch were ejected in the ninth. Frustrated at home plate umpire Alfonso Marquez after Ryan Howard drew a walk on a close pitch, Rauch lost his temper when Shane Victorino followed with an RBI single, with Utley sliding home just ahead of left fielder Corey Patterson’s throw.

Rauch had to be restrained by his manager as he argued with Marquez. After calling Shawn Camp in from the bullpen, Farrell renewed the argument and was also ejected.

Halladay (11-3) took the mound in the bottom of the first to a standing ovation from the crowd of 44,078. One banner read, “Welcome Home, Doc. Please be gentle.’’
