Blue Jays Sneak Past Athletics, 8-7
The Toronto Blue Jays withstood a good performance by Oakland right fielder Al Simmons to knock off Oakland, 8-7, in 15 innings. Simmons went 4-7 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Paul Quantrill, 6-1, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. Toronto, now 37-33, holds down second place in the American League Eastern Division.

Hurley McNair delivered a big hit for Toronto. The left fielder drilled a solo home run in the top of the 15th inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 8-7. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

"We just battled, never quit, and continued to grind out at-bats trying to create some opportunities," said Toronto manager .
