Toronto Closer Jordan Romano Exits All-Star Game with Back Tightness

  • Toronto closer Jordan Romano left the All-Star Game in the seventh inning due to lower back tightness.
  • Romano entered the game, retired Will Smith on a flyout, then allowed a deep fly ball by Lourdes Gurriel Jr. that was initially called a home run but overturned on review.
  • After the review, manager Dusty Baker and a trainer visited the mound before Romano walked off the field.
  • Romano threw just five pitches before exiting as a precautionary measure.
  • The Blue Jays said they are taking precautions to care for Romano's back tightness.
