Blue Jays Walk-Off Athletics In Low Scoring Affair

Melky Cabrera scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth.

TORONTO, ON -- The Oakland Athletics and Toronto Blue Jays were locked in a pitching duel on Saturday afternoon, with Dan Straily going seven innings allowing one run and his counterpart Brandon Morrow going eight innings allowing the same number of runs, 1.

Edwin Encarnacion would break the 1-1 deadlock with a single past a diving Josh Donaldson at third base. Melky Cabrera would come around to score from third base as the Blue Jays walked off the Athletics.

Oakland got their only offence from Brandon Moss, who hit a long solo homer in the top of the 3rd inning, hitting the facing of the third deck.

Brandon Morrow's start marked the first time all season that the hard-throwing righty didn't record a strikeout.

The Blue Jays attempt to bring out the brooms tomorrow and sweep the Athletics when former Blue Jays Jesse Chavez squares off against rookie phenom Marcus Stroman in the final game of the three game weekend series.
