Butch Edge pitched a six-hitter as the Blue Jays shaded the Orioles, 3-2. The first two Blue Jay runs came in the sixth inning on a bases-loaded single by Rick Cerone. With two out and the score tied, 2-2, in the eighth, Rick Bosetti smacked a homer off Jim Palmer for the game-winning run. [The Sporting News]
