Rallying for three runs in the eighth inning, the Yankees swept past the Indians, 4-3. The Yanks trailed, 2-1, going into the bottom of the eighth but went ahead on walks to Bucky Dent and Willie Randolph, an RBI double by Bobby Brown and two-run single by Bob Watson. Tommy John, getting relief help from Rich Gossage, received credit for his 22nd victory of the season. [The Sporting News]
