Fred Patek hit Vic Albury's first pitch of the game for an inside-the-park homer to start the Royals off to a 10-2 romp over the Twins. Paul Splittorff, who was the winner, was forced to quit the mound after six innings because of a blister on his pitching finger. Nelson Briles gave up the Twins' runs on a homer by Eric Soderholm in the ninth.
