| George Brett capped a six-run second inning with his third homer in as many nights and singled in another run in the fourth to lead the Royals to a 9-3 whipping of the Yankees, making Renie Martin the winningest righthander in the league. All six runs came after two were out. U.L. Washington tripled in the first two runs and came home on a single by Willie Wilson. After a walk to Frank White, Brett connected off Luis Tiant.
