A single by Paul Blair drove home the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning as the Yankees prevailed over the Angels, 4-3. Graig Nettles opened the 11th with a double and after Chris Chambliss sacrificed the runner to third, Lou Piniella and Cliff Johnson drew intentional walks. Blair then hit a long fly over the head of center fielder Ken Landreaux. The Angels had tied the score in the top of the ninth on a two-out homer by Joe Rudi. [The Sporting News]
