Rick Waits, who was the last Indians pitcher to win in Yankee Stadium, ended his club's six-game losing streak in New York by posting a 2-0 victory. The Indians' last previous victory in Yankee Stadium came on October 1, 1978, when Waits won, 9-2, and forced the Yankees into an East Division playoff with the Red Sox.

While Waits was scattering seven hits in his shutout, the Indians won with six hits off Rudy May. In the first inning, a pass to Miguel Dilone, single by Jorge Orta and sacrifice fly by Mike Hargrove produced the initial run. Orta also singled in the sixth and scored on a double by Joe Charboneau. [The Sporting News]
