Coming through as a pinch-hitter, Gail Hopkins drove in a run with a single in the 11th inning to give the Royals a 3-2 victory over the Rangers. John Mayberry drew a pass to open the 11th and Jerry May sacrificed. After an intentional pass to Bobby Knoop, Hopkins batted for Paul Schaal and delivered his winning hit.
