Roy White, who hit a double and a triple, drove in all of the Yankees' runs in a 3-1 victory over the Indians. White's triple followed a walk to Bobby Murcer in the first inning. Horace Clarke and Jerry Kenney singled in the third and, one out later, both scored on White's double.

Steve Dunning, a rookie from Stanford University, suffered his first loss. Fritz Peterson, who hurled the route for the Yankees, gave up the Indians' run in the fourth on singles by Tony Horton, Chuck Hinton and Graig Nettles. [The Sporting News]
