The Oakland Athletics topped the Toronto Blue Jays by the score of 13-1, with the largest share of the credit going to first baseman Mark McGwire. McGwire belted 3 home runs, while adding 6 RBI and scoring three times for the Athletics. The win puts the Athletics at 96-58, while the Blue Jays drop to 83-71.

The game turned with no one out in the bottom of the fourth when McGwire, who finished 2nd in the AL in RBI with 120 in 1988, hit a solo home run. It propelled the Athletics into the lead, 2-1.

"I wish every win came this easy," said McGwire.
