TORONTO —
Springer, who had reached on an RBI single that opened the scoring for Toronto, was celebrating Kirk’s double that cut the deficit to 3-2.
The out call meant Toronto slugger Addison Barger didn’t get to bat with runners at second and third.
Schuemann had just entered the game as a defensive replacement, taking over for Miguel Andujar.
The Blue Jays eventually did take the lead with a six-run eighth inning to eventually win the game 8-4.
The loss was the Athletics’ sixth straight; they’ve lost 17 of their last 18 games.
