Bob Bailor smashed a two-run homer and Lloyd Moseby and Alfredo Griffin drove in two runs apiece with doubles to bat the Blue Jays to a 7-1 victory over the Twins. Bailor's homer in the third inning was his first of the season, matching 1978 and '79 when he also hit only one each year. [The Sporting News]
