Breaking up a scoreless game, the Yankees erupted for four runs in the seventh inning and added a pair in the eighth to defeat the Blue Jays, 6-0. The Yankees collected only two hits off Jim Clancy until Reggie Jackson opened the seventh with a single. After an error, sacrifice and intentional pass, Rick Cerone came through with a double, driving in two runs. Two others followed on a passed ball and single by Piniella.

Luis Tiant, who brought his career record against the Blue Jays to 9-0, was seeking his 50th shutout and flared up when removed by Manager Dick Howser with two men on base and two out in the eighth. Tiant flipped the ball at Howser when the manager came to the mound and later was fined $500. [The Sporting News]
