A four-hitter by Jim Clancy gave the Blue Jays a 2-1 triumph over the Orioles. The game was 1-1 in the seventh when John Mayberry led off with a walk, moved to second on a sacrifice and scored on a single by Alan Ashby. The first Jay tally came in the third when Dave McKay led off with a single, moved around to third on two infield outs and scored on an infield single by Bob Bailor. [The Sporting News]
