The Yankees scored all their runs in the fourth inning, including two on a single by Bucky Dent, to defeat the Red Sox, 4-3. To start the Yankees' big inning, Lou Piniella singled and stopped at third on a double by Rick Cerone before both scored on Dent's single.

After a sacrifice, Dent crossed the plate on a single by Willie Randolph. Bobby Brown forced Randolph, stole second, continued to third on a throwing error by Red Sox catcher Carlton Fisk and counted the deciding run on a double by Oscar Gamble. [The Sporting News]
