Graig Nettles hit the first grand-slam homer of his major league career, climaxing a six-run outburst in the first inning, and Dave Pagan gained his first major league victory as the Yankees defeated the Royals, 8-2. Two walks and a single by Roy White loaded the bases, and the Yankees' first two runs scored on a pass to Otto Velez and single by Thurman Munson before Nettles came to the plate and hit his homer off Paul Splittorff. Amos Otis batted in both of the Royals' runs with a pair of doubles.
