The Rangers broke a 2-2 tie with a four-run outburst in the fifth inning and went on from there to defeat the Blue Jays, 11-8. Willie Horton and Mike Hargrove singled to start the stanza and both runners scored on a double by Juan Beniquez and an error on a relay by Bob Bailor. Bump Wills tripled, driving in Beniquez, and then crossed the plate himself when Bert Campaneris hit a sacrifice fly.
