The Toronto Blue Jays are hoping Brandon Morrow can benefit from an extended break as he tries to follow up on a masterful performance. It’s taken nearly three months and a trip to the disabled list for Oakland Athletics starter Dallas Braden to get back on track after his perfect game. In his return to his native area, Morrow will try to extend his career-best win streak to five while Braden will attempt to earn his fourth win in five starts Tuesday night. Morrow finished one out shy of a no-hitter Aug. 8 and struck out 17 on 137 pitches during a 1-0 victory over Tampa Bay. In response to that effort, Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston skipped the right-hander’s scheduled start.

Morrow, who has a 2.96 ERA, 40 strikeouts and 10 walks over his last four starts, will try to follow another one-hitter from Monday’s series opener. Shaun Marcum allowed only Conor Jackson’s home run in a 3-1 victory, the team’s 22nd in 34 games. Morrow, a Santa Rosa, Calif., native who also pitched at Cal, will try to follow by improving to 4-0 all-time against the A’s. He allowed two runs over six innings in a 10-2 home victory April 30, and three runs and two hits over 6 1-3 innings in his only previous start in Oakland on Sept. 21, 2008, while not receiving a decision for Seattle. Braden, meanwhile, will try to help his team avoid matching its longest losing streak of the season. The A’s haven’t dropped five in a row since May 12-16.
