Blue Jays Get 8-2 Win Versus Oakland
Toronto Blue Jays starter John Wetteland had all his pitches working at Oakland Coliseum 1969. His stellar performance paved the way for an easy 8-2 Toronto win over the Oakland Athletics. Toronto goes to 85-71. The win puts them 4½ games up in their division.

Toronto took a 5-2 lead on Guillermo Velasquez's 32nd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Velasquez hit in the top of the eighth, left Oakland pitcher Joey Hamilton visibly frustrated.

"We did more than enough to get the win," said Wetteland.
