Giambi has 3 hits, Oakland Gets 10-9 Victory
Jason Giambi was the difference-maker for the Oakland Athletics in what turned into a shootout with the Toronto Blue Jays. Giambi went 3-for-4 in the 10-9 Athletics win. Oakland starter Rube Waddell was credited with the win after throwing 99 pitches over 6.2 innings. His record now stands at 8-8. The save went to Dennis Eckersley, his 20th this season.

The Athletics got a big hit from third baseman Eric Chavez. Facing Toronto pitcher Scott Downs in the top of the sixth, Chavez pounded a run-scoring double to left. His 14th double of the season put the Athletics ahead, 9-2.

"It was one of those games where both teams were swinging the bat well," Giambi said.

The win puts Oakland at 59-51 this season.
