Despite a pedestrian performance by starting pitcher Lefty Grove, the Oakland Athletics still won the game, 7-6, over the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Dennis Eckersley wrapped it up, recording his 6th save. The Athletics keep rolling, raising their record to 16-9.

Jason Giambi delivered a big hit for Oakland. The pinch hitter drilled a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said Toronto manager . "The effort was great."
