The Royals collected 15 walks, three short of the major league record, and strolled to a 7-0 victory over the White Sox behind the pitching of Paul Splittorff. Ken Kravec, making his major league debut with the White Sox, passed seven in 2 1/3 innings. John Mayberry singled in the third inning and both Al Cowens and Harmon Killebrew walked before Dan Osborn relieved Kravec. Jim Wohiford singled to drive in two runs. After a pass to Buck Martinez, Frank White singled for another pair. [The Sporting News]
