Bert Blyleven recorded his first shutout victory of the season as the Twins' righthander stopped the Yankees on four hits, 3-0. The winners bunched singles by Jerry Terrell, Rod Carew and Tony Oliva in the first inning for the only run Blyleven needed.

Lyman Bostock's third hit of the game plated the final two runs in the seventh following singles by Carew and Oliva (who was removed for pinch-runner Larry Hisle) and a sacrifice by Eric Soderholm. Blyleven walked only one, an intentional pass to Lou Piniella in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
