Who gets the loss?

MLB game - home team starter leaves with runners on first and second no outs winning 1-0 top of 8th inning.

Relief pitcher #1 comes in and gets one out on a sacrifice bunt.

So now SP runners are on second and third with one and RP#1 still in

RP#1 gets ground ball to third who nails runner at plate. So now it's runner on third (SP) and first (RP#1) with 2 outs.

Relief pitcher #2 comes in and gives up double scoring runner on third (SP - tying run) and runner on first (RP#1 - go ahead run). Now home team is down 2-1.

Runner on second who hit double ends up scoring off RP#2 making it 3-1 end of 8th inning home team losing.

Nothing else happens in 9th that matters.

Who gets the loss? I'm thinking SP gets a no decision, RP#1 gets the loss and RP#2 gets a blown save
