Getting all their runs in the seventh inning, the Blue Jays went on to a 3-1 triumph over the Rangers. The Jays trailed, 1-0, going into the bottom of the seventh but tied the score on a leadoff walk to Roy Howell and a double by Willie Horton. A groundout by John Mayberry moved Horton to third. Horton then was replaced by pinch-runner Willie Upshaw, who scored on a double by Al Woods. A single by Dave McKay plated Woods with the third run. [The Sporting News]
