Al Cowens, who drove in the tying run with a double in the fifth inning, tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Amos Otis in the seventh before John Mayberry homered off Catfish Hunter to seal the Royals' 5-3 victory over the Yankees. Paul Splittorff limited the Yankees to five hits, but gave up all their runs in the third on four singles and a sacrifice fly.
