Blue Jays Sweep Yankees in Doubleheader Triumph
Toronto's pennant chase gets a boost as the Blue Jays sweep a twin bill from the Yankees, aided by Lloyd Moseby's two 400-foot homers and Rance Mulliniks driving in four in the nightcap. Dave Collins snapped an 0-16 skid with an RBI in the 20th inning of the opener, while Matt Williams earned the win in his major league debut. The Jays moved within one game of first in the AL East as New York's hitters produced tape measure shots but failed to hold a late lead.
