Frank White, a defensive replacement in the Royals' lineup in the 10th inning, came to bat in the 12th and smashed a grand-slam homer to beat the Angels, 6-2. Steve Busby, hurling the route for the Royals, fell behind, 2-0, before his teammates caught up for him in the seventh when Fran Healy singled and Al Cowens homered.

Busby pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the 11th, striking out Rudi Meoli and Billy Smith. The Royals then filled the sacks in the 12th on a single by Healy and passes to Cowens and Bob Stinson before White whacked his homer off Luis Quintana. [The Sporting News]
