Daric Barton added two hits and an RBI for Oakland.
Brian Tallet (2-5) took the loss in relief of Blue Jays starter Brandon Morrow, who departed after giving up two runs in four innings.

The lead held up until the seventh when Toronto pushed a run across on back-to-back doubles by Aaron Hill and Lyle Overbay.
Oakland answered with three runs in the bottom of the seventh to take the lead for good. Jack Cust's fielder's choice allowed Crisp to score the deciding run from third.
