Behind the hitting of Rickey Henderson, the Kansas City Royals stopped the Toronto Blue Jays, 11-7. Henderson hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4 for the Royals. Larry Christenson went 6.2 innings for Kansas City to pick up the win. The right-hander was charged with 5 runs. He scattered 6 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 2. His record improves to 1-2. The Blue Jays drop to 9-15 and continue their inconsistent start to the 1982 season.

With Kansas City leading 7-4 in the bottom of the sixth, Henderson hit a fastball from Armando Guzman for a 3-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Royals ahead, 10-4.

Henderson told the Kansas City Observer: "Sometimes the big stage is not big enough for me."
