Designated-hitter Ron Blomberg homered to tie score in the sixth inning and then drove in a run with a double in the eighth to give the Yankees a 4-3 victory over the Athletics. The A's, who had a homer by Joe Rudi, led in the game by one run three different times, but after Blomberg's blast knotted the count 3-3 in the sixth, Bobby Murcer doubled in the eighth and scored the winning run on Blomberg's two-bagger.
