Harmon Killebrew hit his first homer in a Kansas City uniform and 560th of his career to start the Royals' scoring in a 6-2 victory over the Athletics. After Killebrew's blast tied the score at 1-1 in the second inning, the Royals went ahead in the third when Amos Otis singled, stole second and crossed the plate on a single by John Mayberry.
