Benefiting from an exceptional performance from Ellis Burks, the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Oakland Athletics, 15-3. Burks went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Blue Jays. John Smiley earned the win to go to 7-9. He allowed 2 earned runs on 7 hits, with 1 walk and 9 strikeouts. The winning streak has now reached 5 games for Toronto.

"I like the roll we're on," said Toronto manager Jose Mata.
