The first three batters in the Yankees' lineup -- Horace Clarke, Thurman Munson and Roy White -- collected nine hits among them and led the way to an 8-3 victory over the Angels. Steve Kline, who started for the Yankees, was chased in the fourth when the Angels scored their three runs on five straight hits, but three Yankee relievers allowed only one hit the rest of the way.
