Athletics defeat Jays, 8-4
The Oakland Athletics were going for the series win against the Toronto Blue Jays this morning at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. The series was a matchup of the fifth-place teams in the American League East and West. JP Sears took the mound for the A’s facing former A’s hurler Chris Bassitt for the Jays.
The A’s got on the board early when Lawrence Butler led off with a double to right field. Brent Rooker knocked him in with an infield single and an error. JJ Bleday then homered to deep right field to bring the score to 3-0.
