Exploding for 10 runs in the first inning, the Yankees enjoyed a 13-5 rout of the Rangers. The Yanks' runs in the first came on a two-run double by Reggie Jackson, RBI single by Oscar Gamble, bases-loaded walk to Rick Cerone, two-run single by Bucky Dent, sacrifice fly by Willie Randolph, run-scoring single by Bobby Murcer and two-run homer by Graig Nettles. Jackson blasted a two-run homer in the third and Jim Spencer added a solo round-tripper in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
