Homers by Dave Winfield, Bobby Murcer and Reggie Jackson -- his first round-tripper in more than three months -- helped the Yankees to a 12-2 drubbing of the White Sox. Jackson's blow led off the second inning, Winfield hit an inside-the-park affair to lead off the eighth and Murcer belted a three-run pinch-hit clout in the ninth. Sox shortstop Bill Almon committed three errors in the game, each of which resulted in a New York run. [The Sporting News]
