Unbeaten Ron Guidry won his ninth game and Reggie Jackson hit two homers as the Yankees routed the Mariners, 9-1. Jackson had a two-run round-tripper in the seventh and solo shot in the ninth. Roy White opened the Yankee scoring with a solo homer in the second inning.

The Yankees scored four more times in the fourth. With one out, Chris Chambliss walked and took third on a double by Graig Nettles. Jim Spencer followed with a two-run single and Bucky Dent made it 5-0 with a homer. [The Sporting News]
