Blue Jays Best Athletics in Pitching Duel
Bob Wiggins could take little solace in pitching a good game. The fact is his Philadelphia Athletics lost, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Toronto Blue Jays at Municipal Stadium. Yeong-suk Park earned the win to go to 12-6. He allowed 1 run on 7 hits, with 3 walks and 10 strikeouts in 6 innings of work. With the win, the Blue Jays have a record of 51-37.

Toronto relied on the hitting of Masahiro Sakai to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 2-0. For the game, Sakai had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"Whenever we hold the other team to one run," said Blue Jays manager Hollis Wright, "I like our chances."
