George Brett, who had collected three hits in each of six straight games, was stopped on his streak, drawing the collar in two official trips, but the Royals nevertheless breezed to a 7-1 victory over the White Sox. Amos Otis homered with a man on base in the first inning when the Royals put over three runs to clinch the decision quickly. [The Sporting News]
