A bases-loaded single by Rick Bosetti with two out in the eighth inning carried the Blue Jays to a 5-2 victory over the White Sox. The Blue Jays counted their first two runs in the second on a single by Rico Carty and a homer by Otto Velez.

After the White Sox came back to tie the score, Alfredo Griffin led off the Blue Jays' eighth with a single and Bob Bailor walked. The next two batters went out, but Velez drew a pass to load the bases and Bosetti followed with his single, driving in two runs. Craig Kusick added an extra tally with an infield hit.
