| Homers proved decisive in a split of a twi-night doubleheader as the Royals won the first game, 3-2, and the Brewers took the second game, 6-3. Vada Pinson started the Royals on the way to their victory in the opener with a circuit clout in the fourth inning. A single by Cookie Rojas and double by John Mayberry added a marker in that same stanza. Buck Martinez then provided what proved to be the Royals' winning run with a round-tripper in the fifth. In the nightcap, the Brewers prevailed with the help of two-run homers by George Scott in the first inning and Don Money in the seventh. [The Sporting News] |
