Sunday May 9, 1982
. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Scattering eight hits, Dave Stieb pitched the Blue Jays to a 2-0 blanking of the Royals, completing the three-game series sweep for Toronto. The Jays took a 1-0 lead in the seventh inning on a solo homer by Jesse Barfield and andded an insurance tally in the eighth when Willie Upshaw singled, went to second on a sacrifice by Alfredo Griffin and came in on Rance Mulliniks' pinch single.
