Scattering seven hits, Dave Stieb pitched the Blue Jays to a 2-1 triumph over the Yankees. The Jays scored both of their runs in the third inning. Ernie Whitt smacked a leadoff double and tallied on a double by Lloyd Moseby, who reached third on an infield single by Damaso Garcia and scored when he and Garcia worked a double steal.
