Rallying for two runs in the bottom of the eighth, the Blue Jays topped the Angels, 5-4. With the Angels holding a 4-3 lead going into the decisive inning, Tommy Hutton drew a walk with one out and was lifted for pinch-runner Willie Upshaw.

Dave McKay followed with a triple down the right field line. Dave LaRoche relieved Don Aase on the rubber for the Angels and was immediately greeted by a pinch-hit double by Otto Velez. [The Sporting News]
