Blue Jays 5, Athletics 3
TORONTO — Travis Snider hit a three-run home run and Yunel Escobar had three hits before leaving with an injury, lifting the Blue Jays. Former Dixie Hollins standout Jesse Litsch pitched 61/3 innings for his first win since July 20. He missed the end of last season after having hip surgery. Escobar was shaken up after sliding face first into third baseman Andy LaRoche's leg on a triple in the sixth. He left in the seventh after complaining of dizziness.
