After staking the Yankees to a five-run lead in the first inning, the Royals battled back to gain a 9-8 victory. Rich Gale, who started for the Royals, gave up a hit and two walks to load the bases before departing with none out. After Al Hrabosky relieved, the Yankees scored on two infield outs, a single by Graig Nettles and homer by Jim Spencer.
