OAKLAND, Calif. -- Right-hander Jesse Hahn came off the disabled list and pitched six strong innings, leading the Oakland Athletics to a 4-1 victory against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night at the Oakland Coliseum.

The A's beat Toronto for the second straight time and will go for a three-game series sweep on Wednesday afternoon.

Hahn (2-4) ended his career-high-tying, three-game losing streak and won for the first time since April 19 against Texas. He allowed one unearned run on seven hits over six innings with two strikeouts and one walk. He left his previous start on May 23 against Miami in the third inning due to a strained right triceps.

Khris Davis went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBIs and a run for the A's. Jed Lowrie had two hits and scored a run, Ryon Healy had an RBI double. Rajai Davis and Mark Canha each had a double and scored once.

Blue Jays right-hander Marco Estrada (4-4) allowed four runs on seven hits over 5 2/3 innings. He struck out eight, walked one and lost a second straight decision for the first time this season. In his previous start, Estrada gave up seven runs on nine hits -- both season highs -- in 3 2/3 innings in a 12-2 loss to the New York Yankees.

The Blue Jays scored three or fewer runs for the fourth straight game and for the fifth time in their past six games. They ended their franchise-record streak of 34 straight at-bats without a hit with runners in scoring position on Josh Donaldson's infield singled in the third, but Ryan Goins was thrown out at the plate by first baseman Yonder Alonso trying to score from second.

Donaldson and Troy Tulowitzki each had two hits.

The A's led 2-1 through five innings and extended their lead to 4-1 in the sixth. Lowrie hit a leadoff single, and Khris Davis doubled him home. Then with two outs, Healy lined an RBI double.

After Hahn exited, relievers Daniel Coulombe, Ryan Madson and Santiago Casilla combined to blank Toronto the final three innings. Casilla pitched the ninth, striking out two, for his 10th save.

The A's struck first, taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Rajai Davis lined a leadoff double to left, moved to third on Lowrie's one-out single and scored on Khris Davis' sacrifice fly.

Toronto pulled even with an unearned run in the fourth inning. Leading off, Jose Bautista reached base on Healy's throwing error -- his seventh in 14 games at third base this season. Bautista moved to second on Kendrys Morales' bad-hop infield single and eventually scored from third on Tulowitzki's single to right.

Oakland regained the lead at 2-1 in the fifth when Canha doubled and scored on Adam Rosales' single.
