Fritz Peterson pitched a two-hitter in the opener and Stan Bahnsen followed with a four-hitter in the nightcap as the Yankees swept a twi-night doubleheader with the Indians, 1-0 and 7-1. A homer by Graig Nettles saved the Indians from a complete washout. Peterson won his duel with Sam McDowell when the Yankees scored in the third inning on singles by Thurman Munson and Bobby Murcer, a pass to Roy White and single by Felipe Alou.
