Thrust into the starting role by the failure of Chris Knapp to show up for the game, Don Aase pitched a four-hitter as the Angels blanked the Blue Jays, 5-0. The first Angel run came in the second inning on a two-out double by Carney Lansford and a single by Dave Chalk.

The Angels picked up another marker in the fifth on a walk to Lansford and singles by Chalk and Brian Downing. Lansford singled in the seventh, stole second and scored on a single by Downing. [The Sporting News]
