Jeff Mathis brought the Jays back in the ninth but lose in extras
So thw Jays were down to their last out of the game against the A's closer Ryan Cook down 4-1 and David Cooper the first first baseman of the night singles and was lifted for pinch runner Moises Sierra and then Rajai Davis singled to bring up Jeff Mathis as the tying run and after fighting back from 0-2 to a full count pitch which was a high fastball that he sent the ball 367 feet over the wall that was 366 feet away to tie the game at 4.
In the bottom of the ninth Yan Gomez came in and played first base and then in the 12 inning the Jays had a single from Omar Vizquel, who came in off the bench to replace Brett Lawrie in the bottom of the first after Lawrie took a wicked swing and fouled off a ball and held his rib cage and finished the at bat being catch looking. Then Colby Rasmus hit a ball into the lwft field corner where Yoenis Cespedes missed played and when he throw to Brandon Inge who throw home where Vizquel ran out of gas and was thrown out at home and on the play Colby got hurt and after the inning he was replaced by Edwin Encarnacion as Gomez went into the outfield and Gose became the center fielder and Edwin became the third first baseman while pitchers had to hit through the rest of the game.
The A's got the win in the 15 inning where Jemile Weeks lead off with a triple off Arron Loup and then Coco Crisp had a sac fly to win the game and even though Loup lost the game he pitched very well pitching the last two innings and gave up two hits and he even got to stand at the plate and be caught looking.
While the A's got the last three innings from Travis Blackley who continued to fool the Jays batters as he only gave up a single and picked up the win and they got 6 innings from Dan Straily in his first major league start and he gave a run on five hits and k'd 5 and walked one. In the extra innings the bullpen of Jerry Blevins, Pat Neshek, Sean Doolittle, Travis Blackley only allowed three hits.
The Jays got three innings out of Brad Lincoln who did not start well as he load the bases with a singled followed by two walks in the tenth and then retired the next 9 batters. Brett Cecil did not pitch well tonight as he allowed 4 runs on 9 hits with a walk and k'd a batter each but gave up a run in each of his last four innings and got lucky in the second with a run in and runners on first and second with no outs and got back-to-back ground balls including a double play to end the inning while in the fifth the Jays outfielders got mixed up and Rasmus caught the ball but Gose was right beside him and was going after the ball as well. Brett Cecil still allowed two homers in the game as he gave up a solo shot to Jonny Gomes in the third and Chris Carter to lead off the fourth inning.
Jays continue to lose on and off the field
