The Indians erupted for five runs in the fifth inning and rolled to a 6-0 victory over the Royals behind the four-hit pitching of Rich Hand. Buddy Bradford tripled to start the uprising and scored on a single by Eddie Leon. After another single by Jack Heidemann and a sacrifice by Hand, Vada Pinson drove in two runs with a single. Graig Nettles and Roy Foster also singled, producing another tally, and Nettles then counted the fifth run of the frame on a wild pickoff throw by Royals' catcher Ed Kirkpatrick.
