Oakland at Toronto

A tough spot for Oakland, playing its sixth straight road game on this 10-game trip. The Athletics go with lefty Eric Surkamp, who has allowed 24 base runners in 14+ innings. This is nothing new. For his career he's allowed 73 base runners in 44+ innings (51 hits and 22 walks). The Athletics are 10-25 after allowing five runs or more in their previous game, and they got smoked here yesterday in a 9-3 defeat. Toronto slugger Troy Tulowitzki went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs while Josh Donaldson added a three-run blast. Toronto is on a 49-24 run at home. The Blue Jays are 21-8 against the AL West, and the team is 17-5 when Drew Hutchison starts at home. Play Toronto.
