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.
