“What a kind of sombre game for us, and kind of watching him reflect on his career and hopefully he didn’t throw his last pitch,” DeRosa said. “Tough series. We had to win this game. Definitely made for a happier flight. Everyone contributed. Bullpen was asked to do a heck of a lot, not only in this game, but in the 17-inning game.”

Gibbons said Ortiz’s injury “doesn’t look good.” The pitcher is scheduled to travel to Florida to have an MRI.

Jays reliever Brad Lincoln came in and finished a clean third inning. Ortiz, who has played in 303 career games with eight different teams over 12 major league seasons, was called up from the minors on Saturday to help Toronto’s depleted pitching staff after starter Brandon Morrow was put on the 15-day disabled list. Coming into Sunday, he had appeared in six games — four starts — for the Jays this season, compiling a 1-2 record with a 5.01 earned-run average.
