Rudy May, facing his former teammates for the first time since changing uniforms in June, pitched the Yankees to a 2-1 victory over the Angels. May gave up seven hits, but the Angels' only run in the third inning was unearned on an error by Sandy Alomar. The Yankees, who were held to four hits by Andy Hassler, tied the score with a double by Lou Piniella and single by Thurman Munson in the fourth before winning with an unearned run in the seventh.

Graig Nettles walked and took second on a sacrifice by Alomar. Facing Jim Mason, Hassler uncorked a wild pitch. Catcher Ellie Rodriguez retrieved the ball and followed with a wild throw to third base, allowing Nettles to score. [The Sporting News]
