Snapping a personal 10-game losing streak, Paul Mirabella pitched a three-hitter and posted a 3-1 victory as the Blue Jays completed the sweep of a doubleheader with the Red Sox after the winning first game, 7-6, in 17 innings.

Dwight Evans cracked five hits, including a homer and three doubles, for the Red Sox in the opener, but the Jays tied the score at 6-6 in the ninth inning when Lloyd Moseby cracked a two-run homer. In the 17th, Al Woods led off with a single, took third after two out on a single by Bob Davis and scored the Jays' winning run on a single by Garth Iorg. The victory in the A L.'s longest contest ofthe  season broke the Blue Jays' eight-game losing string. [The Sporting News]
