Blue Jays Win at Oakland, 5-4
The Toronto Blue Jays knocked off the Oakland Athletics, 5-4, at Oakland Coliseum. Keon Broxton, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Toronto won. The center fielder was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Dellin Betances earned his 3rd save in 5 chances. Oakland's current losing streak is now 5 games.

Broxton had a game-changing home run in the top of the seventh. On a 1-2 changeup from Blake Bivens, he banged a solo home run to left, giving the Blue Jays a 5-4 lead. It was the 15th home run of the year for Broxton.

"This was a good win," said Broxton.
