Manager Billy Martin emptied his bullpen to quell a ninth-inning Indian uprising in a 3-2 Yankees' victory. A sacrifice fly by Mickey Rivers scored Bobby Brown in the third and a walk to Graig Nettles, double by Lou Piniella and triple by Darryl Jones plated two in the eighth to give the Yankees a 3-0 margin.
