. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Consecutive homers by Dave McKay and Hector Torres in the seventh inning climaxed the Blue Jays' attack in a 10-3 victory over the Brewers. Gary Woods beat out an infield hit before McKay and Torres followed with their back-to-back blows. Bill Singer gained his first victory in a Toronto uniform after losing four times.
