Blue Jays edge over Athletics 7-3 to worsen their situation

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Danny Jansen hit two-run homers each, while Jose Berrios pitched six innings to win for the third time in four starts as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Oakland Athletics 7-3 on Saturday.

Guerrero hit a homer for the second time in two days after going 32 games at home this season without sending the ball over the fence.

It’s the third time this season and the 18th time in his career that Guerrero has homered in two consecutive games.

After winning Friday to snap an eight-game losing streak, the Athletics lost for the ninth time in 10 games and could not be proud of their majors’ worst record at 20-59.
