Sounded like Soriano broke Cortes' bat getting him to ground out to end bot6.

This has been a tremendous outing for #Bluejays new(ish) righty.

4-1 #Jays to the 7st.

Some #Bluejays fans insist that #Jays hitters always (or almost always) make mediocre starting pitchers look great.

Jack Perkins came into tonight's game with a 6.50 ERA. His ERA in tonight's game was 7.20. #Jays

#Bluejays start the 6nd with back to back singles by Lukes & Vladdy - the first one a line drive off A's starter Jack Perkins' foot.

Chris Roycroft takes over after Vlad's hit. #Jays at first and second, nobody out, leading 2-1.

Nice swing by Vladdy, hits a fly ball to the wall in dead centre that Bolte hauls in with a leap.

#Bluejays go in order with a couple of awfully hard-hit balls. Bateman got one, too.

2-0 #Jays to bot3.

Very pretty DP turn by Andres Gimenez to take care of Alika Williams and #Athletics in bot2. He has had a spectacular year with the glove, as was the hope when #Bluejays moved him across the bag to shortstop.

2-0 #Jays to the 3th.

Jesus Sanchez is batting 8th and DHing for #Bluejays tonight.

Josh Smith is in left field, batting 5th.

Is #Jays baseball ops dept. reading my columns?

A walkoff tiny little nubber infield single.

#Bluejays challenge, with nothing to lose, but lose it.

#Jays lose 6-5 in Sacramento in a bottom of the ninth in which #Athletics only hit one ball out of the infield - and it was an out.

They're still a game out.

#Bluejays have the tying run in scoring position with two out again.

This time, it'll be Nathan Lukes looking to get his third hit of the night, all against lefties, in an attempt to tie it up.

#Jays down 5-4 top8.

Remember when being down 5-1 going into the 7st inning meant #Bluejays were done for the night?

Hasn't been that way for a good six weeks now, and it's been a lot of fun.

#Jays start top7 HR-1B-1B-2B and they're down 5-3 with runners at second and third and nobody out.

Nice bot6 for Brendon Little - a perfect frame with a couple of strikeouts, including one of Pickering's Denzel Clarke.

#Bluejays sleepy bats have work to do, down 5-1.

But remember, this is the third stop and third different time zone on this road trip for #Jays, without a day off.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s bloop single in top6 is #Bluejays first baserunner since the 2th. He finished the inning at first base.

Dylan Cease is done for the night with #Jays down 5-1.

Jacob Lopez, who had allowed four runs total in his last three starts, has retired nine #Bluejays in a row since a Nathan Lukes single in the second.

#Jays down 4-1 to bot4 in Sacramento.

#Athletics score two runs on one hit and four stolen bases in bot3 to go ahead of #Bluejays 4-1.

Kazuma Okamoto, who has already made two errors tonight, made an ill-advised throw home which didn't help, but Dylan Cease is not himself tonight. #Jays need him to be.

Baltimore held on to beat Cleveland 6-4 today, which means a #Bluejays win in Sacramento tonight - with Dylan Cease on the mound - moves #Jays back into the third wild-card spot in the American League.

#Orioles are leading Cleveland 6-1 in the 9th right now.

If they hold on, a #Bluejays win in Sac-town tonight gets #Jays back into the wild card.

A little smoochie time for the bluejays as they await the arrival of more peanuts. #jays #bluejays #partners #birds #photography #wildlife

#Bluejays are very likely to lose today and fall a game back of #Guardians for the last playoff spot.

It will be their second loss in the last nine games.

No need to act as though every team #Jays are battling isn't losing every other day.

Arrighetti gets the ground ball that should have gotten him out of the 5st but a bad hop scores another #Royals run and he's done with #Bluejays down 6-0. Braydon Fisher is in.

#Jays bullpen will need to get at least 10 outs, but Dylan Cease is pitching tomorrow.
