Starting pitcher Justin Steele gave the Toronto Blue Jays a rock-solid performance, helping his team defeat the Oakland Athletics, 2-1, at Oakland Coliseum. Steele yielded 1 run over 7.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 0, and struck out 4. His record improves to 4-1. With the win, Toronto goes to 17-20, while the Athletics fall to 21-14.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Bryce Harper? The Toronto right fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 2-1. For the game, Harper had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Steele told a Toronto Chronicle reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.
