Rudy May snapped a personal seven-game losing streak with a five-hitter in pitching the Yankees to a 5-1 victory over the White Sox. The Yanks took a 3-0 lead in the first inning on an RBI single by Reggie Jackson, run-scoring triple by Graig Nettles and RBI bunt single by Dave Winfield. The other two N.Y. runs came in the third on an error by Sox pitcher Dennis Lamp. [The Sporting News] |
