Bats Stymied For Both Teams As the Athletics Lose To the Blue Jays
Both teams were strong on the bump on Sunday, but the Blue Jays were just a little bit stronger at the plate in their 3-0 victory over the Athletics.
Jason Lange started the game for Athletics and recorded nine outs.
The Blue Jays got on the board in the bottom of the second inning
after Eric Van Bart singled, and Trevor Whittingham grounded into a fielder's
choice, each scoring one run.
Lange began the game for the Athletics. The pitcher surrendered five
hits and two runs over three innings, striking out four and walking one. Mike
Mitro led things off on the bump for the Blue Jays. The pitcher allowed zero hits
and zero runs over one inning, striking out two and walking none.
Lange led the Athletics with one hit in two at bats. Lange stole two
bases. The Athletics didn't commit a single error in the field. Scott MacKay had
the most chances in the field with nine.
Ben Ficht and Scott McIntosh were a force together in the lineup,
as they each collected two hits for the Blue Jays. Van Bart, Ficht, and Whittingham
each drove in one run for the Blue Jays.
Athletics play at home on Sunday against Cubs in their next game, while the Blue Jays play host to the Brewers.
