Although tagged for 11 hits, Woodie Fryman turned in his first route-going performance of the season and pitched the Tigers to an 8-2 victory over the Royals. The Tigers grabbed the lead in the first inning when Mickey Stanley doubled and Bill Freehan homered. The Royals notched their pair in the third on a single by Kurt Bevacqua and inside-the-park homer by Cookie Rojas on a drive that eluded Marvin Lane in left field.
