After winning the first game, 4-3, with an unearned run in the ninth inning, the Royals got homers by George Brett and John Mayberry in the second game and beat the Angels again, 6-3, in a sweep of a twi-night doubleheader. In the opener, Buck Martinez grounded to Mike Miley in the ninth and reached second on the shortstop's wild throw. Rodney Scott came in to run for Martinez, stole third and scored the deciding run when Miley again overthrew first base on a grounder by Fred Patek.

In the nightcap, Brett hit his homer with Amos Otis on base via an error in the third inning. Mayberry connected for the circuit in the sixth. Tony Solaita batted in another run in the sixth with a sacrifice fly and added a tally with a single in the eighth. Adrian Garrett drove in all of the Angels' markers with a sacrifice fly, double and homer. [The Sporting News]
