His 18-game losing streak now only a matter of record, Andy Hassler allowed just two hits in his first route-going performance of the season and gained his second straight victory, pitching the Royals past the Brewers, 3-0. The Royals scored all their runs off Bill Travers in the first inning. Jim Wohlford led off by drawing a walk and stopped at third on a double by Amos Otis. George Brett followed with a triple, driving in both runners, and scored himself on a sacrifice fly by Hal McRae. [The Sporting News]
