Toronto added a Kelly Johnson solo home run in the seventh and three run-scoring doubles and a sacrifice fly in the eighth to make the final six-run difference.

Brandon Lyon (1-2) struck out three of the four batters he faced and collected the win. Milone (9-7) was charged with six runs (five earned) and eight hits over seven innings in taking the loss. He struck out seven and didn't walk a batter.

Oakland led 3-0 after Josh Reddick hit a home run in the first and Brandon Inge added a two-run homer in the fourth.

But Toronto tied the score with a three-run home run by Edwin Encarnacion in the bottom of the inning. It was his 27th of the year.
