Homers by Bobby Murcer and Roy White carried the Yankees to a 4-2 victory over the Orioles. Murcer led off the second inning with a round-tripper and another run scored in that same stanza on a single by Jim Lyttle, an error and a single by Jake Gibbs. White then provided the deciding blow, hitting for the circuit with a man on base in the third.
