Victor Cruz was within two-thirds of an inning of breaking the A.L. record for most scoreless innings pitched at the start of a career when the Blue Jays' reliever worked the last 1 1/3 innings to save a 4-3 victory over the Brewers. With his stint, Cruz extended his scoreless streak to 21 1/3 innings in his bid to surpass the 22-inning record of Boo Ferris of the Red Sox in 1945.

John Mayberry homered for the Blue Jays, who snapped a 2-2 tie with two runs in the seventh inning on singles by Alan Ashby and Dave McKay, an error by Robin Yount and a single by Rick Bosetti. Bosetti's RBI proved decisive when Dave May homered for the Brewers in the eighth inning. [The Sporting News]
