Marty Pattin pitched a five-hitter and got batting support from Buck Martinez, his catcher, who hit a two-run homer to enable the Royals to defeat the Angels, 2-0. The Royals had only one hit off Frank Tanana until two out in the seventh inning when Fred Patek doubled and Martinez connected for the circuit. [The Sporting News]
