WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) --- Jeff McNeil legged out an infield single to
drive in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Athletics
beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 on Monday night after blowing a four-run lead.
Henry Bolte homered and scored three times from the leadoff spot for the A's,
who have won five of six following a five-game losing streak. The rookie drew
three walks and stole three bases.
Andrs Gimnez hit a tying solo homer in the ninth for the Blue Jays (72-73),
who remained a game behind Cleveland for the last American League wild card.
Alejandro Kirk also went deep but Toronto ace Dylan Cease gave up five runs ---
four earned --- in five innings.
