Pat Dobson, facing his former teammates, became the A. L.'s first 10-game winner this season when the Indians defeated the Yankees, 3-2. The Indians scored what proved to be their winning run in the seventh inning when Duane Kuiper doubled and Rick Manning singled. While with the Yankees last season, Dobson did not record his 10th victory until August 15. [The Sporting News]
