Guerrero Jr., Jansen each hit 2-run homers as Blue Jays beat Athletics

Danny Jansen and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. each had a two-run homer as the Toronto Blue Jays bounced back with a 7-3 win over the visiting Oakland Athletics on Saturday.

Brandon Belt had a sacrifice fly and Matt Chapman added an RBI single a day after Toronto (42-36) lost to lowly Oakland.

Seth Brown had a solo home run for the MLB-worst Athletics (20-59). Ryan Noda and Tyler Wade drove in runs with a double and a single, respectively.

Shintaro Fujinami (3-7) only pitched 2/3 of an inning, giving up two runs on four hits before being replaced by Hogan Harris.

Harris allowed four runs over 4 2/3 innings on five hits and four walks. Austin Pruitt and Sam Long also came out of Oakland's bullpen.

Belt got Toronto on the board early when his sacrifice fly in the first inning gave George Springer more than enough time to score from second base. Two at bats later, Chapman singled to right field to cash in Bo Bichette for a 2-0 Blue Jays lead.

Brown replied in the top of the second, muscling an 0-1 pitch from Berrios 414 feet to deep centre field. His fifth homer of the season came off of a 78.9 m.p.h. slurve.

Noda pulled Oakland back within a run when he doubled to deep right field. Tony Kemp, who had reached base after being hit by a pitch, scored on the play. Noda tried to stretch his hit into a triple but Bichette sent the relay throw to third to easily get the A's first baseman out.

It didn't take long for the Blue Jays to once again extend their lead.

Jansen put his 10th home run of the season just over the wall in left field in the third, with the police
