Starting with a three-run homer by John Mayberry in the first inning, the Blue Jays assembled a 15-hit attack and defeated the Mariners, 8-3. Rico Carty supplied four hits in five trips.

Tommy Hutton walked and Carty was safe on an error before Mayberry hit his homer. The Mariners reached Jesse Jefferson for a tying trio in the second, but the Blue Jays regained the lead on a sacrifice fly by Luis Gomez in the fourth and iced the verdict with three runs in the fifth.
