The A's got only two hits off lefty Tom Underwood but that was all they needed to gain a 2-1 triumph over the Blue Jays. Bill North doubled to lead off the fourth inning, went to third on a sacrifice and scored while Mitchell Page bounced into a double play. Gary Alexander then hit a home run, his fourth game-winning circuit clout of the season.
