Marco Estrada lasted just four innings in his first game since July 3rd

Edwin Jackson pitched scoreless ball into the sixth for his 100th career victory and the Oakland Athletics rediscovered their offence to thump the Toronto Blue Jays 10-1 on Monday night.

Jonathan Lucroy drove in three as the A's used their signature power to clear the fences and get back on track after being swept in a three-game weekend series at Colorado, scoring four total runs at Coors Field following a season-best six-game winning streak.

Mark Canha hit a solo homer in the second to give Jackson the lead on the way to the right-hander's first victory in exactly a month _ since June 30 against Cleveland. Jackson struck out five, gave up three hits and walked three in 5 2/3 innings.

Jays starter Marco Estrada came off the disabled list from a left glute strain and allowed four runs over four innings in his first start since July 3rd.
