The skies opened up and the rain fell at Oakland Coliseum.

The Oakland Athletics went down to defeat to John Smiley and his Toronto teammates. The final score was 4-2 in favor of the Blue Jays. The Athletics fall to 7-12 and continue their lackluster start in 1998.

Dean Palmer, who is tied for 4th in the UL in RBI with 14, aided the Toronto cause with a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh. For the game, the third baseman went 2-4 with a double.

"Winning is contagious," said Smiley. "We're looking forward to the next game."
