Hitting in his 12th straight game, Barry Bonnell drove in three runs with a triple and homer as the Blue Jays downed the Rangers, 5-2, behind the four-hit pitching of Jim Clancy. The Jays tallied twice in their first turn at bat on a single by Garth Iorg, triple by Bonnell and an error by shortstop Mario Mendoza. Bonnell blasted a two-run homer in the fifth inning.
