A homer by Graig Nettles in the eighth inning proved to be decisive as Ron Guidry, with help from Rich Gossage, recorded his 10th straight victory in pitching the Yankees to a 5-4 triumph over the Tigers. The Yankees scored four runs off Jack Morris in the first three innings with Bobby Murcer scoring two of them and driving in another with a double.
