TORONTO - Rookies led the way for Oakland on Friday night - one whose career was in jeopardy less than a year ago, another who walked into Rogers Centre about an hour before the first pitch.

Dustin Fowler smacked his first career home and drove in the first two runs in the A’s 3-1 win over the Blue Jays, while just-arrived reliever Josh Lucas wound up taking over in the second inning, because Oakland lost yet another starter to an early injury: Brett Anderson left with a shoulder strain.
