The Royals, who had lost to Bert Blyleven six straight times since 1975, broke the righthander's mastery with an unearned run in the sixth inning and beat the Rangers, 3-2. John Wathan was safe on an error by Bump Wills to open the stanza and Fred Patek walked. After Frank White forced Wathan, Dave Nelson singled to drive in the Royals' winning run.
