Amos Otis drove in two runs with a bases-loaded double in the eighth inning to bring the Royals a 5-4 victory over the Brewers. Lou Piniella started the rally with a single for his third hit of the game and stopped at third on a double by Ed Kirkpatrick. After Cookie Rojas drew an intentional pass, Otis rapped his double to wipe out the Brewers' 4-3 lead. [The Sporting News]
