With two out in the ninth inning, Amos Otis capitalized on an error and smashed a three-run homer to carry the Royals to a 7-5 victory over the Brewers. Fran Healy singled with one away and was forced by Steve Hovley. Don Money, who had hit two homers for the Brewers, then fumbled a grounder by Cookie Rojas for what should have been the third out before Otis came up to bat.
