Gura Beats Yankees Again in KC Shutout
Kansas City fans watched former Yankee Larry Gura dominate New York with a 7-0 shutout. Gura, 9-2 lifetime against his old club, improved his mark against the Yankees while Billy Martin’s 1976 trade lingered as a notable misstep. George Brett, Willie Wilson, John Wathan, and Hal McRae fueled KC’s offense as Roger Erickson allowed sizzling hits. The Royals extended a hot homestand to 6-1 since the Toronto series, hitting .371.
