The Toronto Blue Jays staged a dramatic late-inning comeback to sweep the Oakland Athletics in a four-game series, rallying for an 8-4 win on June. Addison Barger delivered the decisive blow with a three-run homer in the eighth, capping a six-run inning that erased Oakland’s lead and extended the Athletics’ losing streak to six games. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Alejandro Kirk each contributed two hits and two RBIs, helping Toronto notch its fifth straight victory and ninth in the last games.
Oakland’s pitching woes continued, with the staff surrendering at least one home run in consecutive games. Jacob Wilson was a bright spot for the A’s, going 4-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base, but it wasn’t enough to halt the team’s skid.
While the Blue Jays celebrated a sweep, fans are eager for updates on the Padres and Mariners scores as the MLB playoff race heats up. With momentum building in Toronto and questions swirling around other contenders, the next round of games could shake up the standings even further.
