John E. Sokolowski-Imagn Images Another W. Unlike the other games in the series they had to sweat this one out a bit, mounting a late comeback after trailing from the jump. They secure a four game sweep of the typically woeful A’s with the victory. More importantly, they move three games above .500 for the first time since April 19 and (pending the Astros finishing off … [Read more...] about Jays Come Back Late, Beat A’s 8-4

The Jays didn’t … [Read more...] about Springer Homers Twice, Jays Beat A’s

José Ureña was DFAed, Easton Lucas is back with the team. Ureña pitched in six … [Read more...] about Saturday Bantering And GameThread
Jays Keep Scoring, Down A’s 11-7
Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Another bug scoring game. The pitching wasn’t as sharp as last night, but then when you score 11 it doesn’t have to be. Every member of the lineup got on base at least once, and eight of them did it twice or more. Vlad, Clement and Straw each managed it four times. It’s as if they realized they were below quota for May offence and are trying to … [Read more...] about Jays Keep Scoring, Down A’s 11-7
