Firing a five-hitter, Tommy John became the league's first 12-game winner as the Yankees triumphed over the Red Sox, 7-2. Jim Spencer hit a solo homer for the Yankees in the fifth inning and Reggie Jackson smacked a bases-empty round-tripper in the sixth stanza. The Bronx Bombers tallied four times in the seventh frame on an RBI triple by Willie Randolph, squeeze bunt by Bobby Murcer and two-run single by Lou Piniella.
