The Indians rang the bell with Buddy Bell, who drove in four runs with three hits to help defeat the Yankees, 9-2. After the Yankees took a 2-0 lead in the second inning, Bell singled to drive in one of the Indians' matching tallies in their half. The Indians then knocked out Dave Pagan during a five-run outburst in the third. Bell batted in a pair with a single and added his fourth RBI with a double in the fifth when the Indians completed their scoring. [The Sporting News]
