After giving up seven hits in the first three innings, Steve Busby yielded only three more the rest of the way and pitched the Royals to a 7-2 victory over the Tigers. Busby yielded the Tigers' pair in the first on singles by Mickey Stanley, Gary Sutherland, Jim Northrup and Bill Freehan. Amos Otis hit two doubles for the Royals, scoring both times, and also knocked in a run with a sacrifice fly. Al Cowens batted in two runs with a triple.
