. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Pushing a run across in the 10th inning, the Blue Jays edged the Rangers, 6-5. After the Jays had tied the contest in the ninth on a two-out RBI single by Alfredo Griffin, Roy Howell opened the 10th with a single and moved to second on a sacrifice by John Mayberry. Otto Velez was walked intentionally and Al Woods walked to load the bases. Lloyd Moseby then hit a sacrifice fly to deep center to plate Howell with the winning marker. [The Sporting News]
