Paul Schaal hit a homer in the ninth inning to give the Royals a 2-1 victory in the first game of a doubleheader, but the Brewers came back to win the second game, 3-2, on a bases-loaded single by Tommy Harper in the 13th inning. Two walks, a double steal and an intentional pass preceded Harper's hit. [The Sporting News]
