Blue Jays 5, Tigers 3 at Detroit (day game):
The Blue Jays snapped their five-game losing streak with a 5-3 victory over the Tigers. The Blue Jays, who had homers by Barry Bonnell and John Mayberry, added an unearned run in the fifth inning and then accounted for their winning margin in the sixth when Damaso Garcia singled, Doug Ault was safe on an error by Tigers third baseman Tom Brookens, Ernie Whitt doubled to drive in Garcia and Alfredo Griffin delivered a sacrifice fly.
