Steve Busby pitched a five-hitter for his 10th victory and George Brett and Hal McRae rapped homers as the Royals defeated the Athletics. 4-1. The A's counted their tally in the first inning on a double by Bert Campaneris and single by Claudell Washington, but Brett tied the score with his homer in the third. An error by Phil Garner led to a pair of unearned runs in the fourth before McRae completed the scoring with his homer in the seventh.
