Three pitchers combined on a three-hitter as the Yankees ended Detroit's eight-game winning streak, 3-1. Willie Randolph broke a 1-1 tie with a solo homer in the seventh inning and the Yanks picked up an insurance run in the eighth on Rick Cerone's single. After the game, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner fired manager Bob Lemon and replaced him with Gene Michael. [The Sporting News]
