Thurman Munson and Elliott Maddox each collected four of the Yankees' 20 hits in a 14-2 trouncing of the Rangers. The Yankees began their attack with six runs in the first inning. David Clyde, who started for the Rangers, was removed without retiring a batter after giving up a single by Maddox and consecutive walks to Lou Piniella, Bobby Murcer and Bill Sudakis to force in the first run. Stan Thomas, making his major league debut in relief, was unable to bring the inning to a close until the Yankees had scored five more times on a passed ball, single by Otto Velez, walk to Munson with the bases loaded and singles by Graig Nettles and Jim Mason.
