| After Gene Michael batted in one run and scored another with a pair of singles, Bobby Murcer homered to clinch the Yankees' 3-1 victory over the Indians. Michael's RBI hit followed a single by Jim Lyttle and an infield out in the second inning. Michael singled again in the fifth and counted on a wild pickoff throw, a safe bunt by Stan Bahnsen and an infield hit by Frank Baker. Murcer added his homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News] |
