Bob Johnson pitched a two-hitter and struck out 12, setting a Royals' club record, to mark a 4-3 victory over the Red Sox. The Royals had to come from behind to gain their decision after a walk, an error and a homer by Tony Conigliaro gave the Red Sox a 3-1 lead in the fourth inning. Ed Kirkpatrick cut the deficit with a circuit clout in the fifth and Bob Oliver batted in the tying and winning runs with a triple after Amos Otis and Kirkpatrick walked in the seventh.
