Darrell Porter drove in five runs and scored twice to pace the Royals to a 12-3 thrashing of the Yankees. Successive singles by Willie Wilson, Frank White and Hal McRae produced the first K.C. run in the first inning and an RBI forceout off the bat of Porter produced the second. Porter singled home two runs in a four-run fifth and two more in a six-run ninth. [The Sporting News]
