The first A.L. home run by Dave Winfield provided the margin as the Yankees defeated Detroit, 3-2, extending the Tigers' losing streak to 10 games. Bucky Dent led off the third inning with a double and scored on a single by Jerry Mumphrey before Winfield's winning clout. Rudy May picked up his fourth victory, with 2 1/3 innings of hitless relief help from Ron Davis. [The Sporting News]
