A four-run outburst in the second inning carried the Blue Jays to a 4-1 triumph over the Red Sox as Dave Stieb and Joey McLaughlin combined on a four-hitter. The Jays began the uprising when Roy Howell led off with a single and Barry Bonnell walked.

The runners advanced on an infield out and, after an intentional walk to Al Woods, a single by Garth Iorg plated Howell. Alfredo Griffin then delivered a single that scored Bonnell and Woods. The final run followed when Griffin and Iorg executed a double steal, Iorg scoring. [The Sporting News]
