Storen suffered his first blown save, and third loss, in Monday's game against the Rockies. He managed to record just one out while giving up four runs on two hits.

Storen had been on a nice roll for most of June, but any momentum gained after a slow start to the season came to a halt Monday night. The first-year Blue Jay was called upon to protect a 4-3 lead in the seventh inning. Five batters later, with the lone out coming via a sacrifice bunt, Storen was sent to the showers and Toronto was on its way to a series-opening loss. Storen and right-hander Jesse Chavez combined to allow six runs on five hits, a walk and two hit batters. The six runs were the most Toronto has surrendered in any inning this season, and Blue Jays manager John Gibbons finds himself going back to the drawing board when it comes to late-inning relief.
