Reggie Cleveland, given the starting assignment when ailing Luis Tiant was a late scratch, allowed five singles over the first 8 2/3 innings while pitching the Red Sox to a 2-1 triumph over the Royals. The Red Sox scored the winning run in the eighth when Carl Yastrzemski reached first on Bob Heise's error, advanced on Carlton Fisk's sacrifice and scored on a single by Dwight Evans. George Scott hit his 29th homer in the fourth as the Red Sox posted their 15th victory in 16 games.
