After winning the first game, 6-5, on a homer by Roy Foster, the Indians came up with three more round-trippers in the second game and completed a sweep of the doubleheader with the Royals, 3-0, behind the pitching of Steve Hargan. Bob Oliver batted in all five of the Royals' runs in the lidlifter with a single and homer. After Oliver's boundary belt with two men on base in the sixth inning gave Royals 5-2 lead, the Indians came back with four runs in their half. Graig Nettles singled and Lou Klimchock was hit by a pitch. When Eddie Leon forced Klimchock, an error by Jackie Hernandez, trying for a double play, enabled Nettles to score. Larry Brown then singled and Foster followed with his decisive three-run homer. Chuck Hinton also had a circuit clout for the Indians.
