Jim Perry pitched the Indians out of their five-game swoon and won his 14th game as he stopped the Royals on five hits, 4-1. Rusty Torres drove in the first Cleveland run with a third-inning sacrifice fly, and Frank Duffy followed suit in the fifth. Rico Carty, who had doubled and moved to third on an infield out in the sixth, scored the third run for the Tribe as Joe Lis hit into a forceout. Carty then drove in the final Cleveland tally with a seventh-inning single. The Royals managed their only run in the fifth on singles by Cookie Rojas, George Brett and Fred Patek.
