Athletics Win at Toronto, 2-1
The Oakland Athletics got a rather unremarkable outing from starting pitcher William VanLandingham, but it was good enough for the club to take a 2-1 decision over the Toronto Blue Jays. Oakland reliever William VanLandingham was credited with the win, to go to 2-2. Melido Perez took the loss for Toronto. Jason Bere, credited with the save, is now 8 for 8 in save opportunities.

Oakland center fielder Gene Kingsale helped the Athletics go up, 2-1, in the top of the sixth inning. With the game tied, Kingsale hit a run-scoring double off Toronto pitcher Melido Perez.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," VanLandingham told a Oakland Gazette reporter. "Sometimes we need just to relax."

Oakland is now 25-36, Toronto 33-29.
