In 7 innings, Hershiser surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 2 and walking 3. He allowed 1 run. The Blue Jays sit in 4th place in the AL American League East with a record of 66-69.

Orlando Munoz, the 29-year old third baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. Munoz contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the first inning to put Toronto up, 2-0.

Blue Jays manager Jeremy Jays GM raved about Hershiser after the game. "I thought Orel was 'lights out.'"
