Batting for only the second time this season, Elrod Hendricks hit a two-run homer in the second inning to support Jim Palmer's pitching as the Orioles defeated the Yankees, 3-0. Hendricks went behind the bat because Earl Williams, the Orioles' regular starting catcher, was fulfilling a military commitment. The Orioles' other run scored on a walk to Boog Powell, an error and single by Brooks Robinson in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
