A Cap Day crowd of 35,295, setting a Kansas City attendance record, saw the Royals win the first game of a doubleheader, 5-1, before losing the second game to the Angels, 8-4. Bruce Dal Canton, the Royals' winner, drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the seventh inning for his first RBIs in the A. L. He had two previously with the Pirates in the N. L. Dal Canton yielded only five hits but was removed with one out in the ninth and Tom Burgmeier gave up another hit before Ted Abernathy came in and retired the side.
