#2 The Jays answered right back in the bottom of the third inning when Kevin Kiermaier doubled to score Danny Jansen, Vladimir Guerrero homered to left center scoring both Kiermaier and Bo Bichette. Jays took a 4-3 lead

#3 Langaliers homered in the top of the ninth inning for the go ahead and eventual winning run 5-4. The A’s showed signs of clutch hitting similar to when they were on the at seven game run.

#4 The A’s lacked the come back during their eight game skid but found a way to win on Friday night at Rogers Centre in Toronto and Langaliers was an important key to Friday’s win.

#5 Starters for Saturday afternoon’s pitching duel for the A’s Hogan Harris (2-1 ERA 4.45) and for the Blue Jays Jose Berrios (7-5 ERA 3.64) a 1:05pm PT first pitch.
