The Toronto Blue Jays, led by starter Doyle Alexander added to their American League East lead by [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=475]defeating the Tribe 7-2[/url] and now lead by 3 games. Toronto has won 5 straight games, but does not have the title as the hottest team in baseball. That honor currently belongs to the Baltimore Orioles who after [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=474]Monday's 4-1 win[/url] over the AL West leading Angels, have won 6 straight games!

Frank White, and Bud Black helped the Royals [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=476]beat the Rangers 4-3[/url] in 12 innings. In the only other game, Calvin Schiraldi blew his 5th save chance and dropped to 0-5 on the season, as the [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=473]Sox lost 6-4[/url]. When asked about what happened on the mound, Schiraldi cursed at reporters and said, "Why won't you guys leave me alone? Puckett! I'm going home!"
