Homers by Bob Watson, Ruppert Jones and Reggie Jackson powered the Yankees to a 5-4 victory over the Royals. Watson connected in the fourth inning, Jones' jolt with a man on base in the seventh put the Yankees ahead, 4-3, and Jackson then provided the deciding run with his smash in the eighth. The Royals fell short with a homer by John Wathan in their half of the eighth.
