The Yankees remained one-half game behind the Orioles in the East Division race by breezing to a 10-0 victory over the Indians behind the four-hit hurling of Rudy May. The lefthander struck out 13. Fritz Peterson, who started for the Indians, doomed himself with an error that resulted in two unearned runs in the first inning.

The Yankees added four in the third, with two more tallies being unearned on an error by Joe Lis. Graig Nettles homered in the fourth. After run-scoring singles by Lou Piniella and Thurman Munson in the fifth, Nettles hit his second homer of the game in the sixth for the final marker. [The Sporting News]
