Tony Armas' 22nd homer of the season highlighted the A's 6-2 victory over the Blue Jays. The A's scored twice in the third inning on an RBI double by Jeff Cox and a wild pitch.

They added three runs in the fourth on a leadoff round-tripper by Armas, run-scoring double by Rob Picciolo and RBI single by Cox. Armas and Mitchell Page hit back-to-back doubles in the fifth for the A's final run. [The Sporting News]
