Ed Kirkpatrick batted in three runs with a double in the first inning and added a homer in the fourth to provide the Royals with a 5-3 victory over the Twins. Cookie Rojas doubled and Amos Otis singled to start the Royals' scoring. After Cesar Tovar dropped a long fly by Bob Oliver, Joe Keough walked to load the bases for Kirkpatrick's double. Rod Carew produced the Twins' runs by hitting for the circuit with two aboard in the eighth.
