Bobby Bonds belted a double and homer to account for two of the Yankees' three hits and drove in all of their runs in a 3-2 victory over the Athletics. The A's also were limited to three hits, but took a 2-0 lead when Billy Williams homered with a man on base in the fourth. Chris Chambliss walked and scored on Bonds' double in the sixth.

Then in the eighth, after Ed Brinkman was hit by a pitch, Bonds smashed his homer. Tippy Martinez saved the game for Pat Dobson, relieving after two A's reached base on errors in the ninth. Reggie Jackson hit into a double play and, after a walk to Williams, Angel Mangual struck out. [The Sporting News]
