Andy Hassler, who had lost 17 straight games with the Angels, made his first pitching appearance with the Royals and allowed only four hits and one run in 7 2/3 innings, but reliever Mark Littell received credit for the victory when the Royals beat the Yankees, 2-1. Catfish Hunter drew the defeat on a run in the ninth. Frank White led off with a single, stole second and continued to third when shortstop Mickey Klutts, playing his first major league game, failed to hold the throw from catcher Thurman Munson. Amos Otis then hit a sacrifice fly, scoring White. [The Sporting News] |
