Bruce Dal Canton, using his newly perfected knuckleball with good effect, limited the Orioles to five hits while the Royals pounded three Baltimore hurlers for 14 en route to a 9-1 victory. Kansas City hung a sixth straight defeat on Jim Palmer, with Fran Healy breaking the ice in the second with a long home run after George Brett had singled with two out. The Royals got rid of Palmer in the next inning when Vada Pinson delivered a two-run double and Jim Wohlford followed with a triple.
