Scattering eight hits, Steve Busby pitched the Royals to a 4-1 victory over the Yankees. The Royals also were held to eight hits, but bunched them more effectively, getting three of their runs in the third inning. Amos Otis knocked in two with a double and then scored himself on a single by George Brett and an infield out.
