Athletics Shut Down Blue Jays Again | Sports News

Henry Bolte crushed his 10th home run of the season, launching a blast to left field to give the Athletics a 1-0 lead. Brady Basso shut down the Blue Jays for four scoreless innings before Tommy White scored on a wild pitch, making it 2-0. Toronto had multiple chances — including runners on first and third in the seventh — but couldn’t capitalize, ending with a double play. Ernie Clement made a dazzling diving stop at second to rob Bolte of another hit, but the defense couldn’t overcome the offense’s struggles. In the ninth, with the tying run at the plate, a fly ball to right sealed the win for the Athletics, 2-0. The Blue Jays’ offensive woes cost them the series as the A’s clinched two out of three games. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
