Allowing three hits, Al Fitzmorris faced only 29 batters while pitching the Royals to a 4-0 victory over the Brewers. Johnny Briggs and Bobby Mitchell singled in the fifth inning, but Fitzmorris put down that threat by getting Bob Coluccio to ground into a double play. Tim Johnson singled for the other safety in the ninth.

Eduardo Rodriguez, pitching for the Brewers, retired the first 12 batters before Hal McRae and Tony Solaita singled in the fifth. After Orlando Cepeda walked to load the bases, a run scored while the Brewers were executing a double play on a grounder by George Brett. The Royals did not break the game wide open until the ninth when they added their last three runs, two scoring on a double by Cepeda. [The Sporting News]
