Oakland arrived in Toronto after taking two of three games from high-powered Boston at Fenway Park. Its solid pitching played a role, but a surging lineup also generated 15 runs in the series.

The A's kept their hot bats going in Thursday's 10-5 win over Toronto in the series opener. Matt Olson tagged a three-run homer, while Matt Chapman and Khris Davis added two-run shots. Starter Andrew Triggs left early because of an injury, but three relievers combined to hold the Blue Jays to one run over the final five innings.

Manaea (5-4, 2.35 ERA) has emerged as the rising star of the rotation, largely because of two performances against the Red Sox. He threw a no-hitter against them April 10 in Oakland while striking out 10.

The left-hander also won the rematch Monday in Boston, allowing three earned runs in six innings as the A's prevailed 6-5.

Gaviglio (1-0, 2.08 ERA) will make his first start of the season Saturday for Toronto. He picked up a win May 11 with three scoreless innings against the Red Sox.

Toronto has been felled by an offense that generated three or fewer runs in all seven losses of a 3-7 slump before Oakland arrived at Rogers Centre.
