The Oakland Athletics had to overcome a fine effort from Toronto pitcher Mike Fiers to grab a narrow 5-3 win at Oakland Coliseum. Fiers went 6.2 innings and allowed 1 run. Oakland is now 18-22.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Brock Holt came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Toronto pitcher Danny Barnes, he hit a 1-2 fastball for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Oakland on top, 5-3.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Holt.
