Toronto Downs Texas, 11-5
The Toronto Blue Jays reigned over the Texas Rangers in damp conditions.

Behind the bravura of right fielder Lloyd Moseby, the Toronto Blue Jays topped the Texas Rangers by the score of 11-5. Moseby was 2-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Blue Jays. Vern Geishert picked up the win in relief for Toronto, while Richard Dotson took the loss.

Toronto used a well-timed hit by Danny Goodwin to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Blue Jays ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"I had some good swings out there," said Moseby.

Toronto's winning streak has reached 4 games.
