The Yankees succumbed to the pitching of Mark Fidrych and lost the first game of a doubleheader, 6-0, before coming back to beat the Tigers in the second game, 3-1, before a Jacket Day crowd of 52,707. Mickey Stanley drove in two runs for the Tigers with a pair of singles and Ben Oglivie homered with a man on base to support Fidrych in the opener. The shutout was the rookie's third of the season and the complete game was his 21st.
