Although giving up 11 hits, Mark Bomback and Roy Lee Jackson combined to thwart several Kansas City scoring opportunities, enabling the Blue Jays to edge the Royals, 2-1. The Jays scored in their first turn at bat on a leadoff double by Damaso Garcia and two-out triple by Willie Upshaw.

Ernie Whitt drilled a one-out triple in the fifth frame and scored on Alfredo Griffin's suicide squeeze. K.C. left the bases loaded in the eighth and had a man on third in the ninth when John Wathan grounded out to end the game. [The Sporting News]
