Boosting his career record against the Indians to 11-3, Rudy May tossed a four-hitter, with three-RBI support from Alex Johnson, as the Yankees stopped Cleveland, 6-1. New York combed former teammate Fritz Peterson for four runs in the first on singles by Roy White, Elliott Maddox and Thurman Munson and Johnson's two-run triple, followed by a sacrifice fly by Graig Nettles.
