ATHLETICS 2 BLUE JAYS 5 F....the BLUE BIRDS go for the Sweep on Sunday as Saturday's "W" was sponsored by that R.A. "KNUCKLER"..."A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report" with the 'JAYS gaining MO in the AL East! #OAKvsTOR

It's a two-lane highway when facing a Knuckle Ball Throwing Pitcher in the Show. Teams either chase him early...or its a mesmerizing long day. Well Saturday "North of the Border" in Toronto the 'Jays "Knuckler" R.A. Dickey was masterful vs the visiting Swinging Athletics.

Dickey almost went "Complete Job" going 8 1/3 innings allowing five hits and two runs and walked one striking out four. R.A. giving up just one mistake to A's OF Yoenis Cespedes a Solo HR to open the scoring in the 2nd and that was all for the mistakes. The Jays down 1-0 answered in the 3rd on a Melky Cabrera run-scoring single. They then put a crooked three up in the 5th on a Brett Lawrie Solo Bomb and a fielding error going up 4-1. Both Teams scored one more run each as the 'Jays go onto win 5-2 and stay perfect through the week at 5-0.

A's Starter Jesse Chavez went 5 1/3 innings allowing four runs on eight hits striking out four. The Blue Birds move to 28-22 and lead the AL East over the Bombers and O's while the A's fall to 30-19 still an AL Best W-L. 'Jays Captain Save-A-Game Brett Cecil gets his 3rd save.
