Ineffective in four previous appearances, Sparky Lyle gained his first save of the season when the Yankees defeated the Royals, 6-1. Lyle, who was the A. L.'s premier reliever last season, pitched 2 2/3 hitless innings. The Yankees, after scoring twice in the second inning, wrapped up their victory with four runs in the seventh on a double by Horace Clarke, singles by Roy White and Matty Alou and a homer by Bobby Murcer.
