Leading off in the 10th inning, Rusty Torres smashed a homer to bring the Angels a 4-3 victory over the Yankees. The Angels took an early 3-0 lead, counting a run in the first inning on an RBI single by Tony Solaita and adding two in the second on a single by Dave Chalk and wild pitch by Dock Ellis. The Yankees tied the score in the fourth when Chris Chambliss and Carlos May singled and Oscar Gamble homered. [The Sporting News]
