. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Rudy May tossed his first shutout of the year, limiting the Red Sox to two singles while Thurman Munson, Roy White and Jim Mason provided batting punch in the Yankees' 8-0 triumph over Boston. Munson hit his 10th homer to begin the New York scoring in the second, and the Yankees wrapped it up with three in the fifth, Mason tripling home Graig Nettles, who had singled, then scoring ahead of White's third homer of the season. Mason drove in two more in the eighth with a bases-loaded single. The Yanks finally beat Bill Lee, who was 4-0 this season and 8-0 lifetime against New York entering the game. [The Sporting News]
