The Toronto Blue Jays are 12-1 at home against the Oakland Athletics since 2014, which is tied (Cubs vs. Mets) for the best record by any club at home to a league foe.

The Athletics took two of three games from Boston for the second time this season. Against all other teams currently over .500, the A's have gone 6-16 (.273), a mark which would rank them 25th in the league this season.

The Blue Jays are 4-8 in their last 12 games after splitting a two-game series with the Mets.  They scored 12 runs against the Mets on Wednesday, snapping an 11-game streak of scoring five or fewer runs which is tied for the second-longest in MLB this season.

Josh Donaldson was acquired by the Blue Jays via trade with the Athletics in the winter of 2014. He has hit .324 with four home runs against his former club since then. His 1.040 OPS is the fifth-highest against the A's since 2015 among hitters with at least 75 plate appearances versus Oakland.

Stephen Piscotty hit a home run in his first at-bat returning from bereavement leave, but it was his only hit in the two games he played against Boston.  He hit .248 with two home runs in 34 games before his emergency absence.

Oakland's Jed Lowrie (+.102) and Toronto's Kevin Pillar (+.099) have both seen a dramatic boost in slugging percentage from last season to this.  Their improvements rank third and fourth, respectively, among AL batters who qualified in 2017 and 2018.

HP - Gibson, 1B - Livensparger, 2B - Gorman, 3B - Johnson

TORONTO -- The Oakland Athletics found a way to win at the Rogers Centre on Thursday night.
They had lost their six previous games there and were 1-12 over the previous four seasons against the Blue Jays in Toronto.

A's aim for second straight win vs. Blue Jays

TORONTO (AP)  Dustin Fowler couldn't decide which felt better, his first career home run or a tiebreaking hit that led to a win.
Fowler hit his first career homer and added an RBI double in the seventh inning, Josh Phegley doubled home a run in his season debut, and the Oakland Athletics beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 on Friday night.
