Amos Otis and Harmon Killebrew each hit home runs and Steve Busby went the distance to spark the Royals to a 5-3 victory over the Rangers. The first K. C. run came in the second inning on Hal McRae's walk and George Brett's double. Cookie Rojas' single then plated Brett. Otis' homer gave the Royals a 3-0 lead in the third inning.
