J.A. Happ tossed his best game of the season, a triumph on its own, but the Jays couldn’t build on it enough to beat the Oakland A’s.
Happ gave up three
hits over seven innings and should have easily had the win against

Rogers Centre.
But the A’s, after
giving up a 1-0 lead in the eighth, came back to score four runs in the
ninth and take a 5-1 decision over Toronto.
Alberto Callaspo, who
made an error in the Jays’ eighth to allow the game-tying run, slapped a
two-run double off Jays closer Casey Janssen in the ninth for the go
ahead runs. read more
