A four-run outburst in the fourth inning carried the Blue Jays to a 6-2 victory over the Twins. With one out, Al Woods tripled down the right field line and scored on a single by Alan Ashby, who moved to third on a single by Dave McKay. Ashby tallied when first baseman Craig Kusick misplayed a bunt by Luis Gomez. The final two runs of the inning scored on a single by Rick Bosetti and grounder by Bob Bailor.
