Scattering seven hits, Lee May extended his personal winning streak to five games by pitching the Yankees to a 5-1 victory over the Twins. The Yankees gave May enough runs to win when they scored twice in the second inning on singles by Thurman Munson, Rick Dempsey and Graig Nettles and a squeeze bunt by Sandy Alomar.

A single by Elliott Maddox, double by Roy White and an error added a pair in the fifth. The final run counted in the seventh on a double by Maddox and single by White. [The Sporting News]
