A two-out solo homer by Mickey Rivers in the 10th inning lifted the Yankees to a 2-1 triumph over the Brewers. The Brewers had tied the contest in the seventh inning on a pair of mental lapses by Yankee starter Jim Beattie, who permitted a steal of third while staring at the plate and then failed to make a throw on an infield chopper. Rookie reliever Ron Davis gained credit for his first major league win. [The Sporting News]
