Ron Fairly, who had no RBIs to his credit going into the game, drove in three runs with a homer and single to pace the Angels to a 5-4 victory over the Blue Jays. Rick Miller was aboard with a single when Fairly homered in the first inning. The veteran first baseman then batted in the Angels' deciding run in the fourth, hitting a single to drive in Lyman Bostock, who had tripled. [The Sporting News]
