A single by Joe Keough and doubles by Luis Alcaraz and Hawk Taylor produced two runs in the eighth inning and gave the Royals a 6-5 victory over the Senators. Ed Kirkpatrick hit a homer and Alcaraz had an earlier run-scoring double to help fashion a 4-4 tie, but Frank Howard sent the Senators ahead in the seventh with a smash over the center field fence, 410 feet from home plate.
