The Royals committed six errors and failed to take advantage of Bill Travers' wildness while losing to the Brewers, 5-0. The Royals' first four errors resulted in three unearned runs. The Brewers added their other tallies in the sixth inning on a walk, double by Robin Yount and single by Tim Johnson. Travers allowed only four hits but walked six, hit two batters and uncorked two wild pitches before being lifted with two out in the seventh inning. [The Sporting News]
