Blue Jays Lose, 3-2, at Oakland Coliseum
The Oakland Athletics faced a tough opponent in Toronto pitcher Eric King, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Oakland Coliseum by a final score of 3-2. King went 6.1 innings and allowed 2 earned runs. Jason Bere picked up the save for Oakland, his 4th of the year. Oakland is still hoping to get on a roll. The win is just their 8th in 20 games.

With runs few and far between, the Athletics had to seize their opportunities when they came. One of the most important chances for Oakland came in the bottom of the third inning, when left fielder John Cangelosi delivered a 2-run double. The double was hit off Eric King and made the score 2-1, Athletics. Cangelosi was 1 for 4 with a double. He drove in 2 runs.

"Feels good to get the job done," Cangelosi said after the game.
