Although having only a 14-11 advantage in hits, the Yankees overwhelmed the Twins, 14-4. Every Yankee batter, except for Ron Swoboda, who was a late-inning replacement in right field, had at least one hit, one run scored and one run batted in. Ron Blomberg led the attack with a homer and single for four RBIs. [The Sporting News]
