Spacing seven hits, Larry Gura pitched the Royals to a 7-0 whitewashing of the Yankees. Kansas City took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a sacrifice fly by Willie Aikens and put the game on ice with a four-run outburst in the seventh on an RBI single by John Wathan, run-scoring single by George Brett and two-run double by Hal McRae.
