| A single by George Brett for his fourth hit of the game touched off a three-run rally in the 12th inning as the Royals defeated the White Sox, 4-1. With two away, Amos Otis doubled and scored the tie-breaking run on Brett's hit. Jim Kaat, who was turned back in a bid for his 20th victory, issued his first walk of the game to John Mayberry. After Harmon Killebrew was safe on an error to load the bases, Al Cowens iced the Royals' victory with a two-run single. [The Sporting News] |
