Homers by Thurman Munson, Carlos May, Reggie Jackson, Graig Nettles, George Zeber and Bucky Dent accounted for all the Yankee runs in an 8-6 victory over the White Sox. May and Jackson each connected with a man on base, while the others hit solo drives. Zeber's homer was the first of his major league career. [The Sporting News]
