Brent Rooker hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the fifth inning and Mason Miller struck out Ernie Clement and George Springer looking with the tying run on second in the ninth inning as the Athletics beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3.

Trailing 4-2, the Jays were poised to stage a rally in the eighth with a leadoff walk, a double and a sacrifice fly, but swinging strikeouts by Addison Barger and Leo Jimenez limited the visitors to only one run.

Max Scherzer struck out eight batters over six innings to help the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Athletics 7-6 on Friday night.
