Playing before a Jacket Day crowd of 55,367, the Yankees were held to only five hits and lost to the Blue Jays, 4-1. The Yankees' run counted in the first inning on a double by Willie Randolph and single by Reggie Jackson, who later suffered a pulled muscle in his left thigh while batting in the fourth and had to leave the game.

The Blue Jays tied the score with an unearned run in the fifth and then won with three runs in the ninth on a single by Dave McKay, sacrifice by Luis Gomez, intentional pass to Alan Ashby, triple by Rick Bosetti, and squeeze bunt sacrifice by Bob Bailor. [The Sporting News]
