OAKLAND, Calif. -- Josh Reddick scored the tiebreaking run in the seventh inning on a play that was overturned by replay, and the Oakland Athletics held on to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-7 Friday night.
Reddick drew a two-out walk from Brett Cecil (0-6) and went to second on Khris Davis' single. Stephen Vogt followed with a sharp single up the middle before center fielder Kevin Pillar appeared to throw out a sliding Reddick at the plate.
Plate umpire Mark Wegner initially called Reddick out, but A's bench coach Mark Kotsay -- filling in for ejected manager Bob Melvin -- challenged the ruling.
