A single by Dwayne Murphy drove home the decisive tally as the A's shaded the Blue Jays, 6-5, in 12 innings. The Jays had tied the game in the bottom of the ninth on a leadoff homer by Barry Bonnell. With two out in the top of the 12th, Rickey Henderson doubled and Murphy singled to right for the winning marker. [The Sporting News]
