Blue Jays Win Thriller, 8-6
The Toronto Blue Jays stopped the Oakland Athletics, 8-6, behind an impressive performance from Derek Jeter. The top prospect made life miserable for Oakland pitching. He was 3-5 with a triple, 2 singles, a walk, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 runs. Toronto reliever Curt Brown picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Ramon A. Garcia took the loss. The win pushes Toronto to a record of 4-3.

Toronto won the game in the bottom of the 13th inning. With two outs and Ramon A. Garcia on the mound for Oakland, right fielder Ellis Burks hit a dramatic 3-run home run, bringing Blue Jays fans to their feet.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Burks.
