MLB: Two Oakland A’s errors, including a critical one in the fifth inning, led to two unearned runs for the Toronto Blue Jays
The A’s couldn’t overcome some costly defensive miscues Sunday in the final game of their season-opening 10-game road trip.
With the A’s down 3-2, shortstop Kevin Smith’s throwing error to first base on a Matt Chapman grounder allowed Lourdes Gurriel Jr. to score from first base for a Toronto insurance run for Toronto.The A’s got a run back in the top of the eighth as Seth Brown’s sacrifice fly scored Sean Murphy from second base. But the A’s could not pull even as they closed out the road trip with a 5-5 record.
Catcher Stephen Vogt hit his first home run of the season and Sean Murphy’s sacrifice fly to center field scored Cristian Pache from third base for two A’s runs in the fifth inning. But the A’s were otherwise held in check by Jays starting pitcher Alek Manoah, who allowed four hits and had six strikeouts over six innings.
The Jays scored two runs in the first two innings Sunday as Oller, too, didn’t get a ton of help from his defense.
