Although hitless in the first game, John Mayberry batted in two runs and scored one to figure prominently in a 5-4 victory before the Royals also defeated the Brewers in the second game, 7-2, to complete the sweep of a twi-night doubleheader. In the opener, Mayberry drove in two runs with infield outs and also drew a walk and scored along with Hal McRae on a throwing error by George Scott.

In the nightcap, Fred Patek, who had been hitless in 16 straight times at bat, had a perfect night at the plate with a double and two singles in three official trips and also stole two bases to spark the Royals. The tiny shortstop hit his double in the second inning, driving in two runs. [The Sporting News]
