The Senators' first three batters in the game produced three runs and that was enough to beat the Royals, 3-2. Ed Brinkman led off with a double, took third on a safe bunt by Wayne Comer and scored on a wild pitch. Frank Howard followed with a homer. Bob Oliver batted in the Royals' runs with a double and a homer. [The Sporting News] Washington Senators 3, Kansas City Royals 2Game Played on Saturday, May 30, 1970 (Day game) at Robert F.
