Athletics Snag 6-4 Win
Behind a solid performance from first baseman Bobby Alicea, the Oakland Athletics defeated the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-4. Alicea went 3-4 with 2 doubles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Athletics. Jonas Natividad locked down his 24th save. At 44-48, the Athletics claim second place in the American League West Division.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Juan Espinoza came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Toronto pitcher Rich Culp, he hit a 0-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Oakland on top, 5-4.

"We put it together today and came out with the win," Alicea said in postgame remarks. "That's the main thing."
