A run-scoring single by Mike Cubbage in the seventh inning enabled the Rangers to edge the Yankees, 1-0, in a duel between Gaylord Perry and Catfish Hunter. Perry gave up four hits. Hunter allowed five and drew the defeat when Lenny Randle walked in the seventh and, after two out, took third on a single by Toby Harrah and scored on the hit by Cubbage, who went into the game batting only .205.
