TORONTO - For a game in which the A’s lost a starting pitcher early to an injury, Thursday night worked out pretty well.
Oakland’s offense, led by Khris Davis, kept spinning out runs, while the bullpen worked 6 2/3 innings to preserve a 10-5 win over the Blue Jays.
Davis was 4-for-4, reaching base five times and scoring three times, and the A’s also the A’s got their usual helping of homers. Davis provided a two-run opposite-field shot off Aaron Sanchez in the third, Matt Olson plopped a three-run drive into Oakland’s bullpen in the fifth, also off Sanchez, and Matt Chapman drilled a two-run blast to left in the sixth.
