Blue Jays Win at Oakland, 5-3
Toronto starter John Smiley pitched effectively against the Oakland Athletics at Oakland Coliseum. The left-hander led his team to a 5-3 win. The Blue Jays move to 67-49 with the win, while the Athletics drop to 37-77.

Toronto used the bat of Ellis Burks to get the win. The right fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 5-3. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it did its damage.

Smiley called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."
