Bobby Bonds socked his first A. L. homer -- a three-run shot that highlighted a five-run outburst in the third inning -- and also added two singles to help power the Yankees to an 11-3 verdict over the Tigers. Bonds' circuit clout was preceded by Roy White's single and Elliott Maddox's double, a fly misplayed by Ron LeFlore.
