Recording his third shutout of the season and sixth victory without a defeat, Tommy John pitched the Yankees to a 5-0 decision over the Twins. The Yankees scored in the second inning on a single by Rick Cerone, a wild pitch and single by Graig Nettles. Ruppert Jones hit a sacrifice fly after a triple by Bobby Brown in the fifth and stroked a two-run single in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
