Lloyd Moseby drove in four runs with a homer and single to spark a 13-hit attack that carried the Blue Jays to a 9-3 decision over the Rangers. Moseby singled home a first-inning run and drilled a three-run homer in the fourth frame. Alfredo Griffin contributed a run-scoring single in the second and two-run single in the fifth.
