Bob Bailor led off the game with a homer and drove in the winning run with a single in the 12th inning as the Blue Jays posted a 6-5 victory, handing the Indians their seventh straight defeat. After Bailor's blow in the first inning, Doug Ault homered with two men on base to give the Blue Jays a 4-0 lead. Andre Thornton rapped a round-tripper for the Indians in the seventh, but Ron Fairly matched it with a homer for the Blue Jays in the eighth.
