John Mayberry hit his third homer in the last three games, connecting with a man on base in the fourth inning, to pace the Royals to a 6-1 victory over the Twins. Fred Patek singled in the fourth, stole second and scored on a single by Amos Otis before Mayberry hit for the circuit. The Royals added another run in that same stanza on two walks and an error. Al Fitzmorris held the Twins to two hits, but they produced a run in the fifth when Johnny Briggs doubled and Eric Soderholm singled.
