| Felipe Alou and Thurman Munson batted in two runs apiece to enable Steve Kline to pitch the Yankees to a 4-1 victory over the Athletics. Alou started his perfect night at the plate by driving in a run with a double in the fourth inning. Thurman Munson homered with a man on base in the fifth and Alou added an insurance marker with a circuit clout in the eighth. [The Sporting News] |
