A triple by Bob Bailor drove in two runs in the sixth inning and clinched the Blue Jays' 5-2 victory over the Indians. Even hitting into two double plays helped the Blue Jays. Their first run counted while Roy Howell was grounding into a twin killing in the first inning and another run scored as Al Woods hit into a double play in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
