Alex Rios hit a two run home run in the 9th inning and Vernon Wells had a RBI single in the first inning.  That was all the scoring that the Blue Jays could get off the Orioles pitchers. 

The Toronto Blue Jays fell just short on Thursday night as they lost to the Oakland Athletics by the score of 3-2 in 12 innings.  They did make it interesting in the bottom of the 12th when they scored one, but then they weren’t able to score another one to atleast tie the game up.

Shannon Stewart and Vernon Wells had one RBI each for the Blue Jays.

Brandon League took the loss as he gave up both runs in the top of the 12th inning that allowed the A’s to win the game.  Starting pitcher Shaun Marcum pitched seven inning and allowed six hits and one earned run.  He pitched well enough for the win, he just didn’t get enough run support.

The Toronto Blue Jays gave up four runs to the Oakland Athletics in the 9th inning and ended up losing the game 6-3.  What a bad way to lose a ballgame as the Blue Jays were leading heading into the 9th inning.

The Toronto Blue Jays sure seem to have the Boston Red Sox’s number as they once again defeated the Red Sox.  The Blue Jays have now beat the Red Sox six straight times after the 10-2 pounding on Saturday.

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.
