Graig Nettles batted in the Yankees' runs with a homer and double to beat the Rangers, 2-1, for their eighth straight victory. Ron Guidry held the Rangers to only four hits before being lifted after issuing a walk to open the eighth inning. Sparky Lyle allowed a run on a two out single by Juan Beniquez but then clamped down to earn his 20th save.
