Driving in five runs with a homer and single, Graig Nettles paced the Yankees to a 12-10 victory over the Angels. Nettles hit his homer following singles by Willie Randolph and Thurman Munson in the first inning and capped a five-run eighth with a two-run single.

Reggie Jackson singled in two of the Yankees' three runs in the seventh inning and marked the 10th consecutive game in which he had one or more RBIs, two games short of the major league record. [The Sporting News]
