Paul Blair and Tommy Davis batted in two runs apiece to support the pitching of Dave McNally as the Orioles defeated the Yankees, 4-0. Blair homered in the first inning. A single by Mark Belanger, double by Blair and single by Davis added two runs in the third before Davis accounted for the final tally with a homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
