Behind the five-hit hurling of Dave Stieb, the Blue Jays defeated the Royals, 7-1. The Jays tallied three times in the fourth inning on a run-scoring groundout by Barry Bonnell, error by K.C. shortstop U.L. Washington and two-bagger by Damaso Garcia. They added four runs in the ninth on a run-scoring single by Bob Davis, fielder's choice groundout by Rick Bosetti and two-run double by John Mayberry. [The Sporting News]
