Led by Roy White and Danny Cater, who drove in five runs between them, the Yankees defeated the Indians, 7-3. White homered with a man on base in the first inning.

Cater, although hitless, drove in one run with an infield out in the fourth, picked up another RBI by drawing a bases-loaded walk in the sixth and lofted a sacrifice fly in the eighth. Thurman Munson homered for the Yankees in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
