A day after A-Rod hit his 500th homer, Hideki Matsui reached the 100-homer plateau with a solo shot in the third. That proved to be the game-winning run, as the Yanks withstood a Royals rally. Melky Cabrera also went deep, while Bobby Abreu had two RBIs.

Joey Gathright enjoyed his first career 4-for-4 day, Esteban German had three hits and Ross Gload delivered a two-run homer, but the Royals couldn't capitalize on a strong offensive day. Gil Meche struggled early, surrendering six runs in four-plus innings -- four runs coming in the second.
