Coming back after the Royals scored four runs in the eighth inning, the Tigers rallied for five in the ninth to gain an 11-9 victory. The Royals loaded the bases in the eighth on a walk to John Mayberry, single by Hal McRae, who took second on the throw to third, and intentional pass to Jim Wohlford. Al Cowens and Fran Healy followed with two-run singles to put the Royals ahead, 9-6.
