Fran Healy's three-run homer in the 10th lifted the Royals past the Yankees, 4-1, and pinned a sixth straight loss on New York's Doc Medich. George Brett got aboard in the decisive frame on an error by Chris Chambliss. Cookie Rojas, after failing to sacrifice, singled Brett to third and Healy followed with his second homer of the year. The Yanks got an unearned run in the sixth as a result of K. C. starter Dennis Leonard's error. The Royals tied it in the seventh on John Mayberry's double and a single by Brett.
