Mike Norris, yielding only one unearned run, lowered his league-leading ERA to 0.36 and boosted his record to 5-0 as the A's routed the Blue Jays, 12-1. The first 15 A's hits were singles before Mike Heath clouted a two-run homer in the sixth. The A's scored three runs in the first inning on four singles and two sacrifice flies. Dwayne Murphy had three hits and three RBIs and Tony Armas had three hits. [The Sporting News]
