The Royals, who won 65 games in 1970 season, matched that total with a 4-1 victory over the Senators. The Royals scored their initial run with the aid of two stolen bases by Freddie Patek in the first inning and added their three other tallies in the fifth on a double by Patek, singles by Gail Hopkins and Lou Piniella and double by Bob Oliver. Jeff Burroughs saved the Senators from being shut out with a two-out homer in the ninth.
