On the A’s podcast with Barbara Mason:

#1 Saturday the A’s (20-59) were looking to take game two of their series against the Toronto Blue Jays (42-36). Shintaro Fujinami was the starter but he didn’t last even one inning allowing four hits and two runs in less than an inning of work. 

#2 Hogan Harris took over on the mound. As the Blue Jays turned up the offense and came away with a four run 7-3 win at Rogers Centre in Toronto.

#3Toronto took a 5-2 lead going into the sixth inning. From the start of this game, the A’s were behind the eight ball. Oakland got a run in the second inning off a solo home run from Seth Brown. The A’s got a second run in the third inning when Ryan Noda doubled Tony Kemp home for the two runs.

#4 The Jays Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had a far different mindset hitting a 437 feet long ball with Brandon Belt on base taking a 7-3 lead. 

#5  Luis Medina (1-6) will be on the mound for Oakland looking to improve his win/loss record as well as his ERA which stands at 7.01. The Blue Jays will be going with Yusei Kikuchi (6-2 ERA 3.97). First pitch is at 10:37 AM PT.
