Travis Buck doubled home two runs in the 12th inning and the Oakland Athletics completed a three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays with a 3-2 win Thursday night. Buck went 3-for-6 with three RBIs, matching an Oakland record with three doubles. The Athletics have won four of six overall, and seven straight in Toronto in a streak that began during the 2007 season.

The winner was right-hander Joey Devine (1-0), who worked two innings after being recalled from Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the day when Rich Harden landed on the 15-day disabled list. Keith Foulke gave up an RBI single to Vernon Wells in the bottom of the 12th, but still picked up his first save of the season. (More Oakland Athletics stories.)
