A combined four-hitter by Dick Tidrow and Rich Gossage enabled the Yankees to blank the Brewers, 3-0. With the game scoreless in the bottom of the sixth inning, Bucky Dent reached second base when Robin Yount threw his grounder wildly past first, moved to third on a groundout and scored on a double by Willie Randolph. Randolph moved to third on a flyout and scored on a single by Lou Piniella. Randolph doubled home the Yankees' final run in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
