7-1 Loss to Athletics Extends Toronto Losing Streak
The Oakland Athletics got a strong performance from pitcher Zak Kent, who stymied the Toronto offense en route to a win, 7-1, at Oakland Coliseum. Oakland has 3 straight wins, Toronto 6 straight losses.

Ezequiel Duran had a big 2-run double for the Athletics in the bottom of the first inning. With Oakland leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a curveball from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Michael Mercado and swatted a double to right. It was his 13th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Athletics ahead, 3-0.

"I'm happy we won," said Kent. "That's first and foremost. My goal is for the team to win the day I pitch, however it's done."
