Athletics beat Blue Jays to clinch 1st home series since April

Adrián Martínez picked up his second win of the season in his home debut as the A’s beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 on Tuesday night at the Oakland Coliseum.

After allowing seven earned runs last week in Seattle, Martínez (2-1, 6.00 ERA) pitched five innings and gave up three earned runs in his third career MLB start after the A’s acquired him in the Sean Manaea trade with San Diego this offseason. The Oakland offense did enough to ensure Martínez’s start stood up.

With the win, the A’s (28-55) clinched their first home series victory since taking three out of four from the Baltimore Orioles in the first series of the season in Oakland.
