The Tigers, who were victims of a no-hitter by Steve Busby April 27, turned on the young righthander and defeated the Royals, 4-1. Busby, who pitched three innings, gave up seven hits and three runs. Norm Cash homered off reliever Doug Bird for the Tigers' last counter in the eighth. John Mayberry provided the Royals' run with a homer.
