The go-ahead double was driven in by McAdoo, propelling Ernie Clement to first base with the decisive run. McAdoo continued his double impact with a bases-loaded single in the eighth inning, expanding the Blue Jays' lead to 3-1.

Nathan Lukes' fielder's choice RBI extended the Blue Jays' lead to 4-1.
