With Jim Rooker pitching a six-hitter, the Royals broke a six-game losing streak with a 3-0 victory over the Tigers, who were stopped on their five-game winning string. After Les Cain retired the first 11 batters, the Royals broke through for their initial run in the fourth inning on a double by Lou Piniella and single by Bob Oliver. Rooker batted in another run with a single in the fifth. Paul Schaal singled for the final tally in the eighth.
