the seventh inning, moving the
New York Yankees to their fifth
straight victory with a 7-4 deci-

left-center field seats helped
New York overcome another
brilliant hitting performance by
Minnesota's - Rod Carew and
carried Catfish Hunter to his
eighth victory a g a i n s t five
losses.
The Yankees' first run came
without the aid of a hit. Roy
White walked with two out in
the first inning, moved to third
base on a wild pickoff throw by
losing pitcher Jim Hughes and
then stole home.
Thurman M u n s o n followed
with his fifth home run of the
season staking Hunter to a 2-0
lead.
Carew got one run back for
Minnesota in the first inning
when he drove his fourth homer
of the season 405-feet into the
left-center field pavilion.
In the third inning, Carew fol-
lowed Steve Braun's double with
his fifth home run, sending Min-
nesota into a 3-2 lead.
The Yankees reclaimed the
lead in the fourth inning when
Bobby Bonds delivered a bases-
loaded, two-out single for two
more runs.
The red-hot Carew hit a wick-

off a two-strike pitch from
Hunter scoring Glenn Borgmann
in the fifth inning as Minnesota
tied the game 4-4.
After he homered in the sev-
