Blue Jays Net 3-2 Win Over Athletics
Chief Bender pitched well, but his team, the Oakland Athletics, still dropped a 3-2 decision to the Toronto Blue Jays at O.co Coliseum. Roy Halladay, the winner, improved to 12-5. He held Oakland to 2 runs on 4 hits over 5 innings, while racking up 6 strikeouts. The second-place Blue Jays now have a record of 48-39.

Joe Carter had a big solo home run for the Blue Jays in the top of the second inning. With Toronto leading 2-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a changeup from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Chief Bender and punished it. The result was his 15th home run of the season, which put the Blue Jays on top, 3-0.

"We busted our tails," said Oakland manager . "But we came up short."
