The club played its SkyDome opener on June 5, recording a 17-10 mark for the month. By the All-Star break, the club was tied for fourth place. In early August, Lee Mazzilli and Mookie Wilson were added. With a team record 20 wins in August, the Jays pulled into a first place tie with Baltimore on the last day of the month. Back-to back wins over the Orioles on the last weekend of the season clinched the A.L. East Division title. George Bell (104 RBIs) and Fred McGriff (36 HRs) powered the offence. In the ALCS, the Jays lost to the Oakland A's in five games.
