Fritz Peterson was able to gain his 10th straight victory when the Indians jumped on Catfish Hunter for three runs in the fifth inning to defeat the Yankees, 3-2. Rico Carty and Buddy Bell singled, Alan Ashby doubled and Frank Duffy singled in the Indians' outburst. Peterson gave up two homers by Bobby Bonds before leaving the game in favor of Tom Buskey in the seventh. Dave LaRoche relieved in the ninth and retired the last two batters for his 16th save.
