Homers by Lou Piniella and Rick Cerone helped power the Yankees to a 6-3 verdict over the Rangers. New York scored three runs in the fourth inning on an RBI single by Bob Watson, bases-loaded walk to Cerone and fielder's choice grounder by Willie Randolph that produced a run. Piniella drilled a two-run homer in the fifth and Cerone connected with the bases empty in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
