A fluke triple by Bob Bailor in the ninth inning helped the Blue Jays rally for two runs to defeat the Angels, 5-4. Don Baylor homered with a man on base in the eighth to put the Angels ahead, 4-3. With one out in the Blue Jays' ninth, Bailor received credit for a triple when Bobby Bonds overran his grounder to right field.
