(AP) --  CC Sabathia picked up his 15th victory,
Austin Kearns homered and the New York Yankees held off the Kansas
City Royals 4-3 .

 Sabathia (15-5) is tied with Tampa Bay left-hander David Price
for the most victories in the American League. Sabathia, who is
11-2 in his past 14 starts, gave up three runs and 10 hits, while
walking two and striking out three in 8 2-3 innings.

 David Robertson got his first save of the season in three
opportunities, but not before giving up a two-run double to Willie
Bloomquist, who had three hits. After a Wilson Betemit infield
single moved Bloomquist to third, Robertson struck out Jason
Kendall to end the game.
