The four-hit pitching of Fritz Peterson and Mel Stottlemyre, plus a barrage of homers, carried the Yankees to 6-0 and 3-0 victories over the Angels in a twi-night doubleheader. Bobby Murcer hit two homers in support of Peterson in the opener. After Murcer's second round-tripper in the fifth, the Yankees had their first three-homer inning of the season when Ron Blomberg and Johnny Callison also hit for the circuit.
