| John Mayberry, who reportedly will earn $1,000,000 with the Royals over the next five-year period, batted in his first three runs of the season to help defeat the Indians, 5-3. Mayberry accounted for his first RBI with a single in the first inning and then drove in two runs with a single in the eighth after the Royals had loaded the bases on a single by Cookie Rojas, walk to Amos Otis and single by George Brett.
