Steele, Toronto Open WC Strong with 5-3 Win
The Toronto Blue Jays powered past the visiting Oakland Athletics, 5-3, in the opener of the Wild Card Game at Rogers Centre. Toronto starting pitcher Justin Steele threw 5.0 innings allowing 2 runs, to lead the charge. The Blue Jays now lead the series 1-0.

Had Ke'Bryan Hayes not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Hayes hit a 2-run double. That made the score 5-3, in favor of the Blue Jays.

Hayes attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Rogers Centre in Toronto.
