Oscar Gamble greeted reliever Doug Bird with a two-run homer in the eighth for a 4-3 Indian triumph, ending the Royals' five-game win streak. Dave LaRoche notched his 10th save after John Mayberry homered off winner Roric Harrison, who had a four-hit shutout until the eighth when the Royals rallied on Tony Solaita's single, Vada Pinson's forceout, a single by Al Cowens and two-run double by Fred Patek. John Ellis and Gamble drove in early Indian runs off Marty Pattin.
