( Nathan Denette / The Canadian Press )OAKLAND, CA.—After a morale-boosting split decision with the AL East- leading New York Yankees over the weekend, the Blue Jays travelled to California for their second West Coast road trip of the season. TAKING ADVANTAGE: Meeting a team with a worse record than their own — or even something similar — is not a situation the Jays have found themselves in much the season. BACK AGAIN: Happ and Francisco Liriano (shoulder inflammation) will both make their second starts since coming off the disabled list last week. HOMER HAPPY: Toronto hit 49 homers in the month of May, more than double the 22 it launched in April. This Jays team has long touted the long ball as a central to its success; it needs to keep proving that while on the West Coast.
