A’s drop close one, fall 3-1 to Blue Jays

But Mitch Spence with another strong outing

The Athletics dropped the series opener against the Blue Jays, falling in a close 3-1 matchup that saw a bit of everything you’d see in a ballgame.

Rookie righty Mitch Spence got the ball this evening but clearly came out of the gate on his back foot. It took Toronto just five pitches to take the lead after George Springer launched a leadoff blast. Saw that plenty when he was with Houston, forgot how much it annoys.
