A two-run homer by Graig Nettles in the 14th inning gave the Yankees a 6-4 triumph over the Red Sox. Roy White walked with one out and Nettles connected on reliever Dick Drago's first pitch.

Ron Guidry, seeking his 13th straight win, was staked to a 3-0 lead, but the Red Sox chased him in the seventh, bringing on Rich Gossage, who was greeted by a two-run single by Rick Burleson to put Sox the ahead, 4-3. The Yanks tied the score in the eighth on an infield single by Thurman Munson and successive one-out bloop singles by Lou Piniella and Reggie Jackson. Sparky Lyle was the winner, pitching the last three innings. [The Sporting News]
