Playing only six innings, Amos Otis batted in four runs with a double and homer to lead the Royals' attack in a 17-3 victory over the Twins. Orlando Cepeda made his first appearance with the Royals as the designated hitter and had two hits, including a single that drove in two runs. Otis' double, following a double by Fred Patek and single by Cookie Rojas, ignited a six-run outburst by the Royals in the first inning. Otis added his homer with a man on base in the third.
