Propelled by a 16-hit attack, the Blue Jays defeated the Angels, 9-3. Rico Carty ripped a homer and two singles to drive in pair of runs and Roy Howell knocked in three more with a double and single. Howell's two-run double and Carty's sixth circuit clout of the campaign were the big blows in a five-run second inning. [The Sporting News]
