TORONTO -- The Oakland Athletics will be trying to end the Toronto Blue Jays' recent dominance over them at the Rogers Centre on Thursday night when the teams open a four-game series.
The Blue Jays are 12-1 against the Athletics in Toronto over the past four season, including a 4-0 sweep July 24-27 last year.
The Blue Jays (22-21) would like to keep the trend going, however, because after a 14-8 beginning to the season, they have struggled at 8-13 since despite a 12-1 victory over the New York Mets on Wednesday afternoon at Citi Field.
