A homer and triple by John Mayberry, who also collected two other hits, paced the Royals to a 4-2 victory over the White Sox. Wilbur Wood, a winner of 24 games for the Pale Hose, failed for the sixth straight time in his bid for No. 25. Mayberry hit his homer after a pass to Paul Schaal in the first inning. Mayberry tripled in the third and scored when Lou Piniella singled. Piniella then stole second and crossed the plate on a single by Carl Taylor.
