Doug Rader hit a double and triple, driving in two runs and scoring two, as the Blue Jays' leading batter in a 6-1 victory over the Brewers. After being held hitless by Jim Slaton in the first four innings, the Blue Jays scored in the fifth on a triple by Otto Velez and squeeze bunt by Hector Torres.

Slaton gave up two walks and committed an error to load the bases in the sixth and the Blue Jays broke through for four runs on a sacrifice fly by Ron Fairly, double by Rader and single by Sam Ewing. Rader hit his triple in the eighth and crossed the plate on a single by Velez. [The Sporting News]
