Bucky Dent beat out an infield hit, stole second and scored the deciding run on Thurman Munson's single in the fourth inning of the Yankees' 4-2 victory over the Indians. Sparky Lyle pitched three scoreless innings in relief of winner Mike Torrez and was credited with his 26th save as the Yankees increased their lead over the Red Sox to 3½ games in the American League East.
