Unleashing a 17-hit attack, the Yankees routed the A's, 10-2. A pair of solo homers by Jeff Newman enabled the A's to carry a 2-2 tie into the bottom of the fifth inning when the Yankees scored twice, one run coming home on a single by Willie Randolph and the other on a bases-loaded walk to Brian Doyle. Reggie Jackson belted a two-run homer in the sixth, Bucky Dent drove in a run with a single in the seventh and Doyle added a two-run double in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
