Homers by John Mayberry and Freddie Patek, together with the six-hit pitching of Steve Busby, enabled the Royals to defeat the Athletics, 4-1. Mayberry homered after a single by Cookie Rojas in the first inning. Patek added his round-tripper in the fifth. The Royals' final run counted in the eighth when Amos Otis tripled and Fran Healy doubled.
