In the ALCS, the A's faced a strong Toronto Blue Jays squad. The first three games of the series were decided by two runs or fewer; at the end of the Game 3, Oakland trailed Toronto 2 games to 1. In Game 4, Oakland led the Jays 6-1 after seven innings; a furious Toronto rally, however, resulted in a 7-6 victory (and a 3-1 Blue Jays series lead).
