Completing the three-game series sweep, the Yankees beat the Red Sox, 6-0, behind the six-hit pitching of Rudy May. The Yanks scored in the first inning on a leadoff double by Willie Randolph and two-out double by Reggie Jackson. Graig Nettles made it 2-0 with a homer in the fourth. Two Red Sox errors contributed to three runs in the seventh and Brian Doyle stroked an RBI single in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
