New York beats Texas, 5 – 4, to snap pitcher Bobby Witt’s personal 12-game winning streak. The Yanks score two in both the 7th and 8th innings to come from behind. Dave Righetti saves his 31st.

Coming off his first major league start where he threw seven shutout innings, Mel Stottlemyre, Jr. is roughed up by visiting Toronto, allowing five runs in three frames. The Jays win, 8 – 4, handing Mel his only decision in this, his last appearance. Tomorrow, he can console his brother Todd Stottlemyre, who allows six runs in five innings in losing to the Royals, 7 – 5.
