After Rich Gale pitched a four-hitter and Jamie Quirk drove in four runs with four hits, including two homers, to mark a 9-0 victory in the first game, the relief pitching of Marty Pattin and homers by Amos Otis and Darrel Porter enabled the Royals to win the second game, 7-4, completing the sweep of a doubleheader the with Blue Jays.

George Brett had two hits in each contest, extending his batting streak to 21 games. In the nightcap, Otis hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning to put the Royals ahead, 5-4, and Porter iced the verdict with a two-run smash in the ninth. Pattin pitched hitless ball over the last 4 1/3 innings. [The Sporting News]
