W: Jack Morris (18-11) – L: Tom Candiotti (2-2) – S: Willie Hernández (31) | Boxscore

Record: 98-54 — 14 games up on Toronto

Highlights

  • No apparent hangover after locking up the division the previous night. ‘Twas a relatively low-scoring affair given the 22 hits amassed by both clubs.
  • Morris went six innings, scattering nine hits and allowed just two runs. Bill Scherrer, Dave Rozema and Willie pitched the final three, allowing just three hits.
  • Nelson Simmons had a three-for-four night. In the bottom of the second, Scotty Earl got his first major-league hit — a triple! — off Candiotti.
