The Blue Jays defeated the Yankees, 5-4, and spoiled Billy Martin's return as manager. Luis Gomez hit a two-run single to cap a three-run sixth inning that routed Tommy John and proved decisive. Joe Cannon, a last-inning defensive replacement for Otto Velez, climbed the right field wall to deprive Graig Nettles of a two-run homer.
