Allowing only five singles, Geoff Zahn pitched the Twins to a 3-1 victory over the Yankees. After Reggie Jackson bunted safely and Lou Piniella beat out infield hit in the second inning, Zahn retired 19 straight batters before the Yanks scored in the eighth on singles by Cliff Johnson and Paul Blair and a double by Bucky Dent.
