Lou Piniella's eighth-inning double that scored Elliott Maddox, who had walked, broke a 5-5 tie and led the Yanks to a 7-5 victory over the Angels and reliever Skip Lockwood. Piniella then carried home an insurance marker on Bobby Murcer's single. After the Yanks had overcome a 3-0 deficit and taken a 5-3 lead in the fourth, Joe Lahoud's sixth-inning homer and pinch-hitter Winston Llenas' sacrifice fly, which drove in Tommy McCraw, knotted count in the seventh, setting the stage for the New Yorkers' final upsurge.
