Scoreless relief pitching by Doug Corbett over the final 4 1/3 innings enabled the Twins to outlast the Blue Jays, 8-6. The Twins jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first inning on a walk to Butch Wynegar, doubles by Ken Landreaux and Ron Jackson and a single by John Castino. They scored three more times in the second on an RBI single by Wynegar, sacrifice fly by Glenn Adams and squeeze bunt by Castino. [The Sporting News]
