Four New York pitchers allowed one hit apiece in hurling the Yankees to a 3-0 whitewashing of the Tigers. The Yanks scored twice in the first inning on RBI singles by Oscar Gamble and Graig Nettles and once in the sixth on a run-scoring single by Willie Randolph. Yankees starter Ron Guidry struck out eight and walked three in five innings to gain the victory. [The Sporting News]
