Athletics Achieve Ninth Shutout, Beat Blue Jays 1-0

The Oakland Athletics secured a 1-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, marking their ninth shutout of the season, thanks to a stellar pitching performance from Osvaldo Bido and three relievers who combined for a two-hitter. Brent Rooker provided the game's only run with his 29th home run in the sixth inning. Toronto's star player, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., extended his hitting streak to 22 games, but the Blue Jays struggled offensively, being blanked for the fifth time this season. Bido's impressive outing, which included six innings pitched with five strikeouts and only two hits allowed, showcased his growing confidence and command. Oakland's bullpen, led by Mason Miller, secured the win with Miller earning his 17th save. The Blue Jays' record in one-run games dropped to 15-20, highlighting their difficulties in close contests.
