Athletics at Blue Jays Game Thread

This afternoon, the Athletics aim for their first win of the 2026 season against the Toronto Blue Jays after a heartbreaking loss in the opener, where Shea Langeliers’ two home runs weren’t enough. Left-hander Jeffrey Springs, who had a decent prior season but struggled in spring training, will pitch for the A’s, facing Blue Jays debutant Dylan Cease. The A’s lineup remains mostly unchanged, with Carlos Cortes starting in right field instead of Lawrence Butler. In the previous game, the A’s managed to neutralize stars George Springer and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., while Kazuma Okamoto shone in his MLB debut for Toronto.
