Capping a power show, Reggie Jackson hit the Yankees' fourth homer of the game, connecting after a single by Lou Piniella in the 11th inning, to defeat the Blue Jays, 8-6. Two-run raps by Bobby Brown and Joe Lefebvre helped the Yankees take a 5-0 lead before the Blue Jays rallied for four runs in the fifth and two in the seventh to go ahead, 6-5. The Yankees came back with a homer by Bobby Murcer in their half of the seventh to tie the score.
