Pushing across two runs in the 10th inning, the Yankees prevailed over the Blue Jays, 5-3. With one out, Lou Piniella singled and Jim Spencer doubled to break a 3-3 tie. Spencer then scored an insurance run when Jay pitcher Mark Lemongello threw Graig Nettles' comebacker wildly past first base. [The Sporting News]
