Game Summary
Athletics defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 2-0. Oakland got a go-ahead solo homer from Henry Bolte in the third and added an insurance run in the fourth, while its pitching staff held Toronto scoreless. Toronto managed six hits but left 11 runners on base, and Max Muncy went 2-for-2 with a walk to lead the offense. A steady relief corps preserved the shutout, with Louis Varland striking out two in a scoreless inning and scoreless appearances from Joe Mantiply, Paul Sewald, Braydon Fisher and Tyler Rogers combining to blank the Blue Jays the rest of the way. The bullpen’s effectiveness and Bolte’s long ball decided the game.
