Yankees 3, Royals 1
NEW YORK — Freddy Garcia pitched effectively into the seventh inning, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter drove in runs and the Yankees bullpen made it stand. Brett Gardner tripled and scored twice as New York won for the eighth time in 10 home games against the Royals. Kansas City has a major-league-best 15 wins at Kauffman Stadium but dropped to 3-9 on the road. Garcia won for only the second time in nine decisions against the Royals.
