SEATTLE (AP) — Toronto closer Jordan Romano left Tuesday night’s All-Star Game because of back tightness.

The 30-year-old right-hander entered for the seventh inning and retired Will Smith on a flyout,. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. followed with a fly deep down the left-field line that initially was called a home run by Ryan Blakney but was reversed by replay umpire Jim Wolf in a video review.

While the review was taking place, Detroit’s Michael Lorenzen relieved.

Romano threw five pitches.
