Blue Jays Get Past Boston for 4-3 Win
The Toronto Blue Jays had to overcome a fine effort from Boston pitcher Bruce Hurst to grab a narrow 4-3 win at Exhibition Stadium. Hurst went 7 innings and allowed 3 runs. Doug Corbett snagged the win in relief. In 2 innings, the right-hander allowed no runs on no hits. He's now 13-11 on the season. The 6th-place Blue Jays go to 70-84.

Roger Metzger was the walk-off hero for Toronto. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Blue Jays shortstop hit a dramatic solo home run to send the teams home.

After the game, Toronto manager Dewey Williams applauded the team's effort. "They busted their humps out there," he said.
