Erupting for 13 hits, the Royals pounded their way to a 13-1 victory in the nightcap to split a doubleheader with the Angels, who won the opener 2-1. Jim Fregosi set up the Angels' first run in the curtain-raiser with a double in the first inning and accounted for the winning run with a homer in the fifth. Sandy Alomar was collared in four trips, ending the Angel infielder's 22-game batting streak. Amos Otis homered for the Royals' tally.

Al Fitzmorris, who came out of the bullpen for his first major league start, was the winner of the nightcap, pitching 6 2/3 innings. The Royals' hits included four by Otis and three by Lou Piniella. [The Sporting News]
