Bob Bailor, who drove in two runs with a single in the fifth inning, belted a homer with a man on base in the 13th to carry the Blue Jays to an 8-6 victory over the Tigers. After the game went into overtime, Milt May homered for the Tigers in the 10th, but the Blue Jays came back with the tying tally on a pass to Doug Rader, sacrifice by Ron Fairly and single by Hector Torres. Al Woods singled in the 13th before Bailor ended the game with his circuit clout.
