Rick Cerone tripled with one out in the 10th inning, setting up the run that brought the Yankees a 6-5 victory over the Angels, extending their winning streak to five games. After Cerone's three-bagger, the Angels walked Eric Soderholm and Aurelio Rodriguez intentionally.

That strategy seemed likely a success when Bobby Brown struck out, but Willie Randolph beat out a slow roller to second baseman Bobby Grich, allowing Cerone to score. The Angels had homers by Rick Miller and Larry Harlow and led, 5-2, before an error by Carney Lansford and passed ball by Dave Skaggs enabled the Yankees to score the tying three runs in the seventh.
