Lawrence Butler homers twice, but A’s fall to Blue Jays 6-5

The Oakland Athletics put up a good fight, but came up just short in a 6-5 loss in 10 innings to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Luis Medina returned from the injured list to start Monday’s game and worked around a two-out single by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in a scoreless first. He showed good velocity with his fastball sitting around 97 mph.

The A’s threatened in the first against Jose Berrios who walked Tony Kemp to start the inning. Zack Gelof followed with a bunt single to move Kemp into scoring position. Berrios answered back though striking out Ryan Noda and Brent Rooker before Seth Brown flew out to end the inning.
