The Toronto Blue Jays begin their West Coast swing in Oakland as Josh Donaldson looks to make a triumphant return. Brett Lawrie and Kendall Graveman will also look to prove something against their former team.
The A's and Blue Jays began the second half of the season with series victories. Oakland took two of three against Minnesota at O.co Coliseum before enjoying a day off yesterday. Oakland is 10 games back of the Los Angeles Angels for first place in the AL West but are a half-game ahead of Seattle for last place with a record of 43-51. The Jays are in third place in the AL East at 47-47, 4-1/2 games behind the New York Yankees for first place after winning two of three at home against Tampa Bay.
