Amos Otis hit a two-run homer and Frank White drove in two runs with a pair of singles to pace the Royals to a 7-3 victory over the Tigers. Otis rapped his round-tripper after a single by Jim Wohlford in the first inning. Before the stanza ended, the Royals added a tally on a single by George Brett, a stolen base, infield out and sacrifice fly by John Mayberry. White hit his run-scoring singles in the second and sixth innings. [The Sporting News] |
