Sparked by Amos Otis, who collected four hits including a homer, the Royals defeated the White Sox, 12-5. Otis led off the third inning with his homer to tie the score at 3-3. John Mayberry and Ed Kirkpatrick then walked, Lou Piniella advanced the runners with a sacrifice and Steve Hovley drove them across with a single. The Royals added three more runs in the fourth on a combination of two walks and singles by Otis, Mayberry and Piniella.
