Bolte Homers, Athletics Blank Blue Jays 2-0

Henry Bolte hit a solo home run, and Tommy White scored on a wild pitch as the Athletics defeated the Blue Jays 2-0 in West Sacramento. Oakland’s pitching staff combined on a six-hit shutout, with Scott Blewett earning the win and Elvis Alvarado recording his sixth save. Bolte’s homer was his 10th of the season and fourth in his last eight games, part of a surge that has included four home runs and five stolen bases since the start of September. The Athletics have won six of their last eight games, while Toronto has lost three of its last four and slipped further in the American League wild-card race.
