Joe Hoerner, who had been obtained from the Braves, made his debut in relief for the Royals and received credit for his first A. L. save in a 6-1 victory over the Brewers. The Royals scored three runs in the second inning, two crossing the plate on a single by Hal McRae, and were leading, 3-1, when Dick Drago cooled off during a long rain delay and gave up a walk and a double by George Scott with one out in the eighth.
