The Blue Jays collected only two hits but managed to win the opener of a doubleheader, 2-1, in 11 innings before the Indians provided rookie righthander Cardell Camper with a 5-4 victory in his first major league start in the nightcap. Jim Bibby, who started the lidlifter for the Indians, pitched six innings and yielded only one hit, but it provided the Blue Jays with a run to tie the score at 1-1. Alan Ashby walked, advanced to second on a wild pickoff attempt by Bibby and scored on a single by Gary Woods. The Blue Jays then went hitless until the 11th when Woods singled off Larry Andersen, the Indians' third pitcher of the game. Bob Bailor sacrificed. After an intentional pass to Roy Howell, Ron Fairly forced Howell. Woods advanced to third on the play and scored the winning run when Andersen uncorked a wild pitch. Dave Lemanczyk gained his 13th victory despite giving up 11 hits.
