Athletics smack three HRs to take down Blue Jays
(Photo credit: Dennis Lee-Imagn Images) Austin Wynns, Tyler Soderstrom and Nick Kurtz each hit two-run homers to help the Athletics to a 6-3 win against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays in the rubber game of their three-game series on Sunday afternoon. Kurtz also doubled and scored for the A's, who have won three of four heading into the All-Star break. A's left-hander Jeffrey Springs (8-6) allowed three runs and three hits over 6 2/3 innings. He struck out five and didn't walk a batter. Davis Schneider and Addison Barger homered for the Blue Jays, who have dropped three of four following a 10-game winning starter Jose Berrios (5-4) experienced his shortest outing of the season. He allowed four runs and five hits in three innings, striking out one and walking two. Mason Miller worked a scoreless ninth for his 19th save for the A's. Gio Urshela started the second inning by rolling a single just under the glove of Toronto shortstop Bo Bichette. Berrios then hung a curveball to Wynns with one out and he blasted it over the fence in left for a 2-0 lead. After Kurtz doubled to right to start the third, Soderstrom came up with one out and lined a home run over the fence in center for a 4-0 lead. Springs retired the first 14 batters in order before Schneider homered to left with two outs in the fifth to cut it to 4-1. One pitch before, Schneider hit a deep fly that appeared to sail over the left-field foul pole. The ball was ruled foul and the call was upheld after a video review, leading to the ejection of Toronto manager John Schneider. The A's put their leadoff batter on base for the fifth straight inning when Toronto reliever Tommy Nance fielded a comebacker from Jacob Wilson and threw it over the head of first baseman Will Wagner for a two-base error to start the fifth. Justin Bruihl entered the game and immediately served up a two-run homer to Kurtz to make it 6-1. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. collected Toronto's second hit of the game, a line drive single to center with one out in the seventh, and Barger came through with a two-out two run homer to right, cutting the lead to 6-3 and ending the day for Springs. --Field Level Media
