Angel Don Baylor ties a club record by knocking in eight runs during a 24 – 2 slaughter of the Blue Jays. The 24 runs the 26 hits are both Angel records. After the first three Jays pitchers are cuffed around, 1B Craig Kusicktakes the mound in his only major league pitching appearance. He does a creditable job, pitching 2 1/3 innings, allowing three hits and two runs. No walks or K’s.
