The BlueJays won for the fifth time in six games on their road trip, but this one came at a cost:
OAKLAND, Calif. — Toronto pitcher Matt Shoemaker injured his left knee in a rundown chase, and the Blue Jays went on to beat theRowdy Tellez and Brandon Drury hit back-to-back homers during a five-run fourth inning. Justin Smoak also homered and shortstop Freddy Galvis made an over-the-shoulder, barehanded catch as the Blue Jays won for the fifth time in six games on their road trip.
Shoemaker hopped around before falling to the ground as a team trainer rushed out. He was down for several moments and sat with his head in his hands before being helped to his feet and off the field. Toronto’s training staff was summoned again after just seven pitches by Shoemaker’s replacement, Sam Gaviglio. Gaviglio was checked out briefly and remained in the game, throwing four scoreless innings to win.
