A run-scoring double by Ernie Whitt claimaxed a two-run rally in the seventh inning that carried the Blue Jays to a 5-4 triumph over the Brewers despite two homers by Milwaukee's Gorman Thomas. The Jays were trailing, 4-3, when Lloyd Moseby led off the bottom of the seventh with a triple and, one out later, scored on a pinch single by Greg Wells.

After Wells was caught stealing, Al Woods drew a walk and Rickey Keeton replaced Jamie Easterly on the mound for the Brewers. Barry Bonnell then walked and Whitt followed with a two-bagger into the left-center field gap. [The Sporting News]
