Lashing out 17 hits, the Royals drubbed the Yankees, 14-3. After an RBI single by Wathan started the scoring in the first inning, the Royals erupted for six runs in the second stanza.

U.L. Washington drilled a two-run single, George Brett stroked a sacrifice fly and Frank White smacked a bases-loaded triple. Capping their attack, the Royals scored five times in the ninth with a two-run double by Brett highlighting the outburst. [The Sporting News]
