After retiring 21 straight batters, Doyle Alexander lost his stuff, but the Yankees came back with Mickey Rivers' fourth hit of the night to beat the Indians, 6-5. With the aid of a two-run homer by Graig Nettles, Alexander had a 5-0 lead going into the eighth inning when the Indians erupted for four runs, two counting on a homer by Alan Ashby.
