Lloyd Allen, who had been relegated to the bullpen after losing five straight starts, gained his first victory since July 13 when Bob Oliver homered in the 11th inning to defeat the Royals, 4-3. Allen took over in the eighth with a 3-2 lead and yielded the tying run on a walk to John Mayberry, an infield out and single by Freddie Patek before Oliver won for him. [The Sporting News]
