The Toronto Blue Jays entered the All‑Star break riding solid momentum despite a narrow 6‑3 loss to the Athletics. Toronto has won seven of its last ten games and currently holds first place in the AL East with a 55‑41 record, sitting two games clear of the New York Yankees and three wins ahead of a surging Boston Red Sox.

Tyler Soderstrom, Nick Kurtz and Austin Wynns each hit a two-run homer, helping the Athletics beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3.

The Toronto Blue Jays have drafted either a shortstop or pitcher with their first-round pick in the draft since 2015, and things were no different on Sunday. Th

Brent Rooker hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the fifth inning and Mason Miller struck out Ernie Clement and George Springer looking with the tying run on second in the ninth inning as the Athletics beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3.

Severino currently owns a 7.04 ERA in the bandbox the A's occupy in West Sacramento, but a 3.04 ERA on the road. It could be seen as a risk for Toronto to take on the remainder of his three-year, $67 million contract (this is year one), but risks are often necessary to win championships.
