Vernon Wells led the Blue Jays with three RBI, Frank Thomas and Aaron Hill chipped in with two RBI, and David Eckstein batted one run in.  Thomas also hit his third homerun and his third in the last three games.

A.J. Burnett got whooped up on by the Athletics hitters.  He only lasted 4.2 innings and gave up ten hits and six earned runs.  The Blue Jays were battling back from that deficit the entire game and could’t quite get over the hump.

Little man David Eckstein led the Blue Jays with three RBI, Frank Thomas collected two RBI, and Alex Rios, Vernon Wells, Lyle Overbay, and Greg Zaun all chipped in with one RBI each.  Thomas had a two run homerun for his two RBI.

It was a combined effort by the Blue Jays pitching staff to hold down the Red Sox.  Jesse Litsch started the game and pitched five innings, Brian Tallet, Brian Wolfe, Jason Frasor, and Randy Wells all pitched an inning.  Litsch was the only pitcher to allow an earned run as he let in two runs.

Overall it was a great performance by the entire Blue Jays team.  They will go for their seventh straight win over the Red Sox on Sunday.

After scoring three runs in the sixth inning, the Blue Jays tacked on two runs in the seventh inning, and another insurance run in the eight inning.  Frank Thomas led the team with two RBI, while Matt Stairs, David Eckstein, Lyle Overbay, and Aaron Hill contributed with one RBI each.

Shaun Marcum picked up the win for the Blue Jays as he pitched seven innings and only gave up three hits.  One of those hits however was a three run homerun off the bat of J.D. Drew that tied the game in the seventh inning.  Other then that Marcum pitched pretty good!

Jeremy Accardo picked up the save, his second of the season.
