Kershaw Ices Oakland Offense
The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Oakland Athletics, 4-0, in American League action at Oakland Coliseum. Toronto pitcher Clayton Kershaw had a standout performance. Pasqualino Carosi got the save, his 40th in 48 chances. The Blue Jays lead the American League East by 2 games.

Oakland could barely put a dent in Kershaw. The left-hander tossed 97 pitches over 7 innings for the Blue Jays, allowing only 4 hits.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Toronto manager Bruce Bochy.
