Ruppert Jones drove in the winning run with an eighth-inning single and Tommy John and Rich Gossage allowed only three Baltimore hits as the Yankees shaded the Orioles, 3-2. The game was tied, 2-2, when Rick Cerone led off the Yankees' eighth with a single, was sacrificed to second by Bucky Dent and raced home on Jones' blow. [The Sporting News]
