Blue Jays Hit Four Homers, Rout Athletics 12-0 in Shutout

The Toronto Blue Jays delivered a dominant offensive performance in a 12-0 rout of the Oakland Athletics, highlighted by four home runs, including two-run homers by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Ernie Clement during an eight-run second inning. Guerrero Jr. now leads the team with eight homers this season and has been a key contributor recently, slashing .240/.367/.480 with multiple RBIs and runs scored in his last 14 games. Starter José Berríos pitched six strong innings with nine strikeouts, helping the Blue Jays record their second consecutive shutout and fourth this season. The Athletics, struggling significantly, have lost 14 of their last 15 games and have been outscored by 101 runs overall, with opponents hitting 25 home runs in 11 consecutive games against them. The Blue Jays improved to a .500 record with their fourth straight home win, while showing a resurgence in timely hitting after a difficult road trip. Additionally, Bo Bichette contributed a pinch-hit two-run homer in an earlier game against the Texas Rangers, underscoring the Blue Jays' growing offensive momentum.
