Yankees Triumph 4-1 Over Twins in AL Leaders Clash

Wilber Randolph drove in two in the fourth and Reggie Jackson plus Lou Piniella doubled twice each as the New York Yankees defeated the Minnesota Twins 4-1. Ron Guidry allowed seven hits, struck out eight, and Sam Sparky Lyfe closed out the ninth. The Twins scored first on Lyman Bostock’s single and Rod Carew RBI single, but Chicago White Sox-like baserunning and timely hitting sparked the Yankees' offense with Chambliss' second home-steal of the season and a Chambliss-turned-run on a wild pitch.
