Knocking in six runs with three singles and a groundout, Lloyd Moseby led the Blue Jays to a 9-4 victory over the Royals. Every Toronto starter had at least one hit as the Jays pounded out 17 hits.

Moseby, Al Woods and Alfredo Griffin collected three hits apiece and K.C. was guilty of four errors. Moseby drove in single runs in the third and fourth innings and stroked two-run singles in both the sixth and seventh frames. [The Sporting News]
