Two homers by Don Money and one by Bobby Darwin helped the Brewers defeat the Royals, 6-4. Money led off the game with a homer. Darwin hit for the circuit in the second inning. The Brewers went on to add three more runs before the stanza ended. Money drove in one with a sacrifice fly and then capped the Brewers' scoring with his second round-tripper of the game in the fourth. Fred Patek plated two of the Royals' runs with a pair of singles.
