In contrast to Gil Patterson, who received credit for his first major league victory when the Yankees took the opener of a twi-night doubleheader, 3-2, Gaylord Perry won his 220th game by pitching the Rangers to a 1-0 triumph in the nightcap. The Yankees scored one run in the first inning of the lidlifter on a double by Willie Randolph and single by Thurman Munson. Roy White homered in the second. After the Rangers came back to tie the score, the Yankees put over the deciding marker with doubles by Graig Nettles and Bucky Dent in the fifth. Sparky Lyle saved the game for Patterson, pitching the last 2 1/3 innings.
