Recording his sixth straight victory, Tom Underwood combined with Ron Davis to hurl the Yankees to an 8-2 verdict over the Mariners. The Bronx Bombers broke the game open with a four-run outburst in the fifth inning as Dennis Werth delivered a two-run single, Reggie Jackson stroked a sacrifice fly and Bobby Murcer hit an RBI single. The Yanks picked up three more tallies in the sixth, with Werth and Bob Watson driving in runs with singles and Jackson plating another on an infield out. [The Sporting News]
