Following the example of Mel Stottlemyre in the previous day's game, Steve Kline pitched the Yankees' second straight two-hitter and shut out the Indians, 4-0. The Yankees decided the outcome against Dick Tidrow with two runs in the first inning. After a pair of walks and a hit batsman loaded the bases, Graig Nettles drove in one run with a sacrifice fly and Ron Blomberg accounted for the other with a single.
