TORONTO (AP) – The Toronto Blue Jays surged to the top of the AL East with their 10th straight win, beating the Oakland Athletics 10-3 on Wednesday night behind a pair of three-run homers from Chris Colabello and Justin Smoak.

The Blue Jays trailed the Yankees by six games on July 31. But after making several bold trades, they have gone on a streak that included a sweep of New York, losing only once since Troy Tulowitzki joined the team to move a half-game up in the division.

Josh Donaldson had two hits and two RBIs, boosting his major league-leading total to 85.

R.A. Dickey (7-10) won his won his fourth straight decision, allowing three runs and six hits in six innings.

Toronto, which won 11 straight in June, is the first team with two winning streaks of 10 games or more in single season since Atlanta in 2013. The last AL team to do it was Kansas City in 1977.
