Game Summary
Athletics defeated Toronto Blue Jays 6-5. Oakland built an early lead with runs in the first, third and fifth innings — Zack Gelof’s early run-producing double and Henry Bolte’s solo homer keyed the A’s offense — and starter Jacob Lopez worked six innings while allowing four runs to provide length. Toronto staged a rally, cutting a 5-1 deficit with a three-run seventh and Andrés Giménez’s ninth-inning homer to knot the game, but the A’s walked it off in the bottom of the ninth. After a challenge was upheld, Jeff McNeil’s soft single scored Donovan Walton for the game-winning run.
