John Mayberry extended his batting streak to 14 games, hitting a three-run homer for the Royals' big blow in a 5-1 victory over the Indians. Mayberry's circuit clout, coming after singles by Fred Patek and Al Cowens in the third inning, was his 26th of the season, equaling his previous career high with the Royals in 1973. Mayberry also accounted for a fourth RBI with an infield out that drove a run home in the ninth inning. [The Sporting News]
