Defensively, Lawrence Butler demonstrated solid play in right field alongside Zack Gelof at second base; both contributed to maintaining a flawless fielding percentage throughout this tightly contested matchup.

Despite their best efforts on offense marked by eight hits across nine innings including one home run that accounted for their lone run scored during sixth inning action - it was ultimately Oakland’s pitching staff that sealed this victory through sheer dominance from mound which resulted into limiting Blue Jays just two hits entire game thereby ensuring no runs crossed plate against them.
