The first career grand slam by Paul Molitor climaxed a five-run fifth inning that lifted the Brewers to an 8-1 pasting of the Blue Jays. The Brewers were trailing, 1-0, when Ted Simmons drew a leadoff walk in the fifth and, one out later, Gorman Thomas walked.

The bases became full when third baseman Danny Ainge booted a grounder by Don Money. Jim Gantner then walked, forcing in a run. Joey McLaughlin replaced Luis Leal on the mound and served up the gopher ball to Molitor. [The Sporting News]
