(AP) -- Robinson Cano hit a three-run homer into the Kauffman Stadium fountains,

Russell Martin and Derek Jeter each drove in a pair and the New York Yankees beat the Kansas City Royals 9-7  .    

Ivan Nova  tied Orlando Hernandez and Andy Pettitte for the most wins by a Yankees rookie in the past three decades.

Nova hasn't lost since a 3-2 defeat to the Los Angeles Angels on June 3.
