Used primarily in relief, Don Hood made only his fourth start of the year and gained his first victory since April 14 when the Indians defeated the Yankees, 4-1. The Indians tagged Ken Holtzman for two runs in the first inning on a single by Rick Manning, triple by Larvell Blanks and single by George Hendrick. The other pair was driven home with a single by Charlie Spikes in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
