Scattering seven hits, Rick Waits hurled the Indians to a 5-0 victory over the Yankees, ending the Tribe's seven-game losing skein. The Indians took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a triple by Miguel Dilone and a wild pitch.

They added another run in the third when Dilone singled and came around on a single by Rick Manning and a sacrifice fly. The Tribe picked up three markers in the eighth, two coming when center fielder Bobby Brown dropped Jorge Orta's sacrifice fly with the bases loaded. [The Sporting News]
