07/11/1986 - Blue Jays Jolt Athletics with Late Rally

The Toronto Blue Jays did just enough to sneak past the Oakland Athletics, 6-5, at Exhibition Stadium. Toronto pitcher John Cerutti earned player of the game honors. Oakland has now lost 6 in a row.

Kelly Gruber was the walk-off hero for Toronto. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Blue Jays designated hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Cerutti.
