Athletics Top Blue Jays, 7-4, to Begin DS
Toronto second baseman Nick Maruschak pounded Oakland Athletics pitchers at O.co Coliseum, but it was not enough to keep the Blue Jays from falling, 7-4, in Game 1 of the Division Series. Maruschak was 1-2 with a home run and 3 walks, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once, though he couldn't keep the Blue Jays from slipping to a 1-0 deficit in the best-of-5 series.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Alex Moncivaiz came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Toronto pitcher John Ferch, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Oakland on top, 5-4.

"There was a kid in the stands with a sign that said 'Oakland Athletics (probably) 2110 World Series Champions'," Moncivaiz told reporters after the game. "I told him, 'Premature, but I like the confidence.'"

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at O.co Coliseum in Oakland.
