A two-run double by Darrell Porter in the first inning and three-run homer by Pete LaCock in the second started the Royals off to an 8-2 victory over the Yankees. Porter delivered his double after the Royals loaded the bases on singles by George Brett and Hal McRae and a pass to Amos Otis. Freddie Patek was hit by a pitch and Frank White walked ahead of LaCock's homer.
