Hyun-Jin Ryu was not at his very best in his first start since returning from the Injured List, where he had been sidelined with "a glute issue," but he was good enough to leave the game with the Blue Jays in the lead 5-4 when he left after the fifth. And then the bullpen -- Bergen, and Payamps, two innings a piece -- held the A's hitless, while the Blue Jays kind of went wild, with Marcus Semien the wildmost: four for six with a home run and a double! Cavan Biggio went three for five, Bo Bichette was three for four with a couple of stolen bases, and not only did Randall Grichunk homer (we are used to this), but Danny Jansen, too (we are not). (On catchers, still: it is sad, isn't it, that Alejandro Kirk looks to be out for kind of a while with a hip flexor.) All in all, a split in a four-game series in Oakland is entirely welcome, as was the getaway-day start time, which meant I could watch a bunch both in preparation of supper and in the aftermath thereof. On to Houston! Which would have been neat for George Springer, one assumes, but he remains at least somewhat injured himself. These woes! These injury woes!
