The largest regular-season crowd in Royals' history, 39,474, saw Steve Busby pitch a five-hitter and shut out the Athletics, 2-0. The Royals were held to four hits by Vida Blue, but Amos Otis tripled in the first inning and scored on a single by Hal McRae for the only run that Busby needed. Just to make sure, the Royals added a tally in the fifth on a double by Jim Wohlford, long fly by Al Cowens on which Wohlford moved to third, and single by George Brett.
