. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Damaso Garcia collected four hits, including the tie-breaking RBI single in the eighth inning, to pace the Blue Jays to a 4-3 triumph over the Brewers, Toronto's fourth consecutive victory. The score was 3-3 when Greg Wells began the bottom of the eighth with a single, advanced to second on a sacrifice by Al Woods and raced home on a single by Garcia. A pinch-single by George Bell gave Toronto a 3-2 lead in the sixth but the Brewers tied the score in the seventh on an RBI double by Thad Bosley. [The Sporting News]
