An error by Don Money in the eighth inning enabled the Royals to score the deciding run in a 2-1 victory over the Brewers. With one away, Jim Wohlford bunted safely and stole second. After Amos Otis struck out, George Brett hit a sharp grounder that went through Money's legs, allowing Wohlford to score. [The Sporting News]
