Graig Nettles and Bobby Bonds crashed three-run homers to power the Yanks to a 12-4 triumph over the Angels. Nettles' blast off loser Bill Singer came in the first inning, Bonds' in the second. The Yanks tallied two more in the fourth, including Ed Herrmann's leadoff homer, and added four in the sixth, featuring a home run by Rick Bladt, his first in the majors. Larry Gura went the route for the Yanks. [The Sporting News]
