Siri Blasts Blue Jays, Athletics Take Game 2, 4-3
The Oakland Athletics and the Toronto Blue Jays will take the Wild Card Game to a decisive final game. Facing a must-win situation at Rogers Centre, the Athletics went into extra innings to beat the hometown Blue Jays, 4-3, and knot the series at 1-1. Oakland center fielder Jose Siri slugged 2 home runs.

Joc Pederson came through with a big-time hit for Oakland. The pinch hitter smacked a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to give his team the lead, 4-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Siri.

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