Although all of the Royals' runs turned out to be earned, the West Division leaders took advantage of errors by Robin Yount and Sal Bando to defeat the Brewers, 3-2. In the first inning, George Brett walked and took third on a single by Hal McRae. Pete LaCock grounded to Yount, Brett scoring, and reached first on a fumble by the Brewers' shortstop. McRae took third on the error and scored when Al Cowens forced LaCock. However, McRae's run became earned when Joe Lahoud followed with a grounder.
