A three-hitter by Tommy John and a five-run outburst in the second inning, including back-to-back homers by Graig Nettles and Chris Chambliss, gave the Yankees a 5-0 victory over the Orioles. A leadoff single by Reggie Jackson and homer by Nettles produced the first two runs. Chambliss then hit a home run to make it 3-0. A double by Cliff Johnson, walk to Willie Randolph, errant pickoff throw and single by Thurman Munson accounted for the final two tallies. John continued his stingy hurling, having given up only one run in his first 16 innings this season. [The Sporting News] |
