The Toronto Blue Jays hope to win the first series of their nine-game homestand by taking the rubber match of their three-game set with the Oakland Athletics on Sunday afternoon.
After dropping the opening game Friday on their return from a 4-5 road trip, the Blue Jays bounced back with a 7-3 victory on Saturday.
Oakland is scheduled to start rookie right-hander Luis Medina , who will be facing the Blue Jays for the first time. Guerrero's homer on Saturday bumped Toronto's lead to four runs, supplying the bullpen a cushion to work with. "Hopefully can stay right there," Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. "I thought, again, he was laying off some pitches, down and away."
" did a nice job going through that lineup and getting to a point where we felt good about taking him out," Athletics manager Mark Kotsay. "Hogan did his job today."
