John Mayberry hit a double and homer, driving in three runs, and Fred Patek also smacked a homer to account for the Royals' scoring in a 4-2 victory over the Angels. Mayberry's two-bagger in the first inning drove in Amos Otis, who had singled. The Angels loaded the bases with three singles in the fifth, but scored only on a sacrifice fly by Ellie Rodriguez. Patek's homer in the fifth put the Royals ahead again before Cookie Rojas doubled in the sixth and Mayberry followed with his round-tripper for the winning margin. Frank Robinson hit a homer for the Angels in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
