The Yankees and Indians exchanged drubbings, the Yanks winning the first game of a doubleheader, 11-0, and the Indians capturing the second game, 17-5. Reggie Jackson, loudly booed by the fans every time he came to the plate, responded with two RBI singles and a solo homer to lead the Bronx Bombers in the lidlifter.
