George Brett had a perfect night at bat with a double and three singles and Fred Patek smashed a two-run homer as the Royals defeated the Angels, 7-1. The Royals stole four bases, giving them a total of 29 thefts in 33 attempts in 10 games against the Angels this season.

In the first inning, Jim Wohlford was safe on an error, stole second and scored on a single by Brett. Following Wohlford's lead, Brett also stole second and counted on a single by Hal McRae. Patek hit his homer, the first of the season for the diminutive shortstop, in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
