A three-run homer by Lou Piniella and three RBIs by Amos Otis helped the Royals defeat the Brewers, 8-6. Singles by Pat Kelly, Ed Kirkpatrick and Otis produced a run for the Royals in the third inning before Piniella hit his homer. Otis batted in two more runs with a single in the fourth. Greg Goossen and Danny Walton homered for the Brewers. Walton connected with a man on base in the fifth and batted in another run with a single in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
