With a helping hand from Pete Vuckovich, Jerry Garvin ended his personal 10-game losing streak when the Blue Jays defeated the Angels, 3-1. The Angels scored their run without the benefit of a hit in the third inning on three walks and a grounder by Ron Jackson. Garvin yielded only three singles before yielding to Vuckovich, who pitched hitless ball over the last 2 2/3 innings.

The Jays beat Nolan Ryan, who struck out 13 but allowed seven hits and walked nine. In the first inning, when Ryan gave up three walks and two hits, the Blue Jays scored twice on an infield out by Ron Fairly and single by Sam Ewing. Their other run counted in the eighth on a walk to Dave McKay, an infield out and single by Steve Staggs. [The Sporting News]
