Although troubled by a pulled thigh muscle, Hal McRae rapped a double and homer to spark the Royals to a 7-1 victory over the Twins, who were stopped on their eight-game winning streak. The Royals ripped into Eddie Bane for three runs in the first inning on a double by Amos Otis, single by George Brett and doubles by McRae and John Mayberry.
