A homer by Otto Velez with two men on base highlighted a four-run first inning that propelled the Blue Jays to a 5-3 decision over the Indians. Velez' blow came with two out following singles by Alfredo Griffin and Rick Bosetti. Barry Bonnell then doubled and Damaso Garcia singled for another run. Ron Hassey belted a three-run homer for the Tribe in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
