Ron Blomberg belted three homers and Graig Nettles, Roy White and Lou Piniella poked one apiece, all six blows coming with a man on base, to power the Yankees to 9-3 and 9-7 victories in a doubleheader with the Indians. Blomberg homered off Gaylord Perry after a pass to Bobby Murcer in the first inning of the opener and connected again after a run-scoring double by Elliott Maddox in the fifth. Blomberg was on base with a single when Nettles tagged Steve Kline for his round-tripper in the eighth. Frank Duffy hit a two-run homer for the Indians.
