After Ron Guidry won the opening game, 5-3, for his seventh straight victory, the Yankees were extended to 13 innings before beating the Blue Jays, 6-5, to complete the sweep of a doubleheader. The Blue Jays held a 3-2 lead against Guidry before the Yankees rallied for two runs in the seventh inning.

Mickey Rivers continued his productive batting with a two-run homer in the third inning of the nightcap. The game was forced into overtime when Willie Upshaw tied the score at 5-5 with his first homer of the season for the Blue Jays in the ninth. In the 13th, Mickey Stanley walked, took third on a single by Rivers and scored the Yankees' winning run on a single by Willie Randolph. [The Sporting News]
