Steve Arlin received credit for his first A. L. victory when the Indians defeated the Yankees, 3-2. Oscar Gamble, who had four hits, accounted for the Indians' first run with a homer in the second inning. George Hendrick hit for the circuit in the sixth. Gamble followed with a triple and scored on a single by Rusty Torres, who drove in his first run of the season. Arlin, who was obtained by the Indians from the Padres, needed relief in the Yankees' half of the sixth when they scored their two runs on singles by Gene Michael, Elliott Maddox, Chris Chambliss and Bobby Murcer.
