Capping a rally by the Yankees, Oscar Gamble hit a homer in the 10th inning to defeat the Royals, 6-5. The Royals, who had round-trippers by Al Cowens and Darrell Porter, held a 5-2 lead going into the ninth behind the pitching of Craig Chamberlain, but the rookie was removed after Reggie Jackson doubled and scored on a single by Chris Chambliss.
