Steve Busby failed for the third time in a bid for his 20th victory, helping to beat himself with a wild throw, and the Royals absorbed their eighth straight defeat, losing to the Twins, 4-1. With the score tied, 1-1, Busby gave up singles by Bobby Darwin and Tony Oliva and hit Eric Soderholm with a pitch to load the bases in the sixth inning. Busby then tried to pick Darwin off third but threw wildly, two runs scoring. Soderholm took third on the error and also crossed the plate on a single by Danny Thompson.
