Jays get mad, then they get even, dropping Oakland 84 in ten

Kendrys Morales homered in the ninth to tie the game and Steve Pearce hit a grand slam in the 10th as Toronto rallied for a 8-4 win over the Oakland Athletics in a combustible game that saw three Blue Jays ejected.

Jays manager John Gibbons, pitcher Marcus Stroman and catcher Russell Martin were ejected in the fifth inning

Former Jay Liam Hendriks (3-2) loaded the bases in the 10th on walks to Miguel Montero, Justin Smoak and finally Morales with two outs. Then Pearce hammered home the final nail with a blast deep to left field on a 3-2 count.

Roberto Osuna (3-0) got the win.

It had looked like Marcus Semien's eighth-inning RBI single would give the Athletics a 4-3 win. But Morales homered in the ninth for the second day in the row to keep things going.

It was his 20th home run of the season and second of the afternoon.

The Jays host the Angels tonight.
