A homer by Lloyd Moseby in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Blue Jays a 5-4 triumph over the White Sox. Moseby's blast came after the first two batters had been retired. The Jays had tied the game in the bottom of the eighth on three straight walks, all issued by Ed Farmer after two were out with a runner on third. [The Sporting News]
