Ron Fairly produced a run with a single in the first inning and accounted for another RBI with a single in the third when the Blue Jays scored four times to defeat the Angels, 6-4. Bob Bailor walked to open the third, advanced on a wild pitch and crossed the plate on Fairly's hit.

Otto Velez doubled to score Fairly, Sam Ewing brought Velez home with a triple and counted himself on a single by Doug Ault. Steve Bowling added an insurance run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Joe Rudi hit his ninth homer of the season for the Angels. [The Sporting News]
