Winnipeg, MB (Best E Casino) - Despite Ricky Ray's record-setting day, Winnipeg quarterback Kevin Glenn passed for 268 yards and two scores on 18- of-26 passing to lead the Blue Bombers to a 30-23 win over the Edmonton Eskimos.

Eskimos quarterback Ray threw for 434 yards and two touchdowns on 36-of-43 passing, and broke Warren Moon's club record for career TD passes. Ray was tied with Moon coming into the game and now has 146.

But the Bombers (5-8) got the win behind a solid running attack that accumulated 156 yards. Fred Reid had 93 yards and a TD on 16 attempts to lead Winnipeg, which has won three in a row.

Arjei Franklin had two catches for 80 yards and a score for the Bombers, while Milt Stegall totaled 56 receiving yards and a TD on two catches.

The Eskimos (7-6), however, managed just 35 yards on the ground. Eight Edmonton players had at least three catches, including Maurice Mann, who had six catches for 78 yards and a score. Fred Stamps had four grabs for 93 yards and a TD in the loss for Edmonton, which has dropped two in a row.

Winnipeg actually trailed, 23-22, after Ray's 44-yard touchdown connection with Stamps with 3:38 remaining in the game gave Edmonton the lead. But the Bombers took the ball back and drove for the winning score.

Reid's four-yard plunge into the end zone capped the seven-play, 53-yard series with just over a minute remaining. A two-point conversion put Winnipeg in front by seven points, and the Bombers held on from there for the win.

Edmonton took an 8-0 lead after one quarter after a three-yard touchdown run by Ron McClendon and a single from the Esks' Noel Prefontaine.

The only scoring for most of the second quarter occurred as the teams traded singles. But Glenn found Stegall for a 31-yard scoring strike with 1:37 remaining. The Bombers tacked on another TD when Glenn found Franklin for 73 yards, and Winnipeg took a 14-9 lead into halftime.

Jason Armstead returned a Prefontaine punt 84 yards into the end zone more than midway through the third quarter, but the Eskimos countered with a TD of their own. Ray's 13-yard pass to Mann broke Moon's record, and Edmonton went into the fourth quarter trailing 21-16.

A Blue Bombers single opened the scoring in the final stanza and gave Winnipeg a 22-16 advantage.
