While getting three-hit pitching from Bruce Dal Canton, the Royals also were held to three hits by Kevin Kobel before they broke away with two runs in the ninth inning to defeat the Brewers, 2-0. Dal Canton retired the last 17 batters in succession. Kobel weakened in the ninth and was removed after giving up singles to Amos Otis and Hal McRae. Tom Murphy relieved to face Orlando Cepeda, who singled to drive in Otis. McRae went to third and scored the second run when Pedro Garcia bobbled a grounder by Tony Solaita.
