A three-run fourth inning, when Rance Mulliniks and Andy Etchebarren delivered key singles, sent the Angels on their way to a 7-4 decision over the Blue Jays. Frank Tanana, who struggled through the first four innings, yielded only three hits over the last five innings and had 11 strikeouts to post his 14th victory. [The Sporting News]
