KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 6 (UPI) -- Robinson Cano connected for a grand slam and Alex Rodriguez added a three-run shot Sunday in the New York Yankees' 10-4 victory over Kansas City.

Cano's slam highlighted a six-run third inning that also saw Nick Swisher sock a solo homer.

Rodriguez, meanwhile, turned the contest into a rout with his blast in the eighth, and the Yankees went on to earn a split in their four-game series as Kauffman Stadium.

New York's Phil Hughes (2-4) got the victory in a 6 2/3-inning start. The right-hander surrendered three runs on six hits, walking one and striking out seven.

Luke Hochevar (2-3) was roughed up for seven runs on seven hits while lasting only 2 1/3 innings for the Royals.

Humberto Quintero homered in the loss.
