Chris Chambliss hit two homers in the first game and Reggie Jackson smashed a pair in the second game to help power the Yankees to 10-1 and 9-3 victories in a twi-night doubleheader with the Angels. The Yankees got six-hit pitching performances from Catfish Hunter in the opener and Ed Figueroa in the nightcap. The Angels' only run off Hunter came on a homer by Jerry Remy in the first inning. Chambliss tied the score in the second with his first round-tripper of the game. Jackson batted in the go-ahead run with a double in the fourth and accounted for two more RBIs with a triple in the sixth. Roy White homered with a man on base in the seventh before Chambliss wrapped up the Yankees' scoring with a two-run shot in the eighth.

Jackson's first homer in the nightcap came in the sixth inning and ignited a four-run outburst that broke a 3-3 tie. Paul Blair batted in two runs with a single. Jackson's second homer accounted for one of the Yankees' last two tallies in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
