George Brett had a 4-for-4 night at the plate, driving in two runs, and Darrell Porter went 4-for-5, including a pair of solo homers, to help the Royals come from behind to defeat the Mariners, 10-7. The Mariners exploded for six runs in the third inning to take a 7-4 lead. The Royals rallied to tie the score in the fourth and then went ahead to stay in the fifth when Porter hit his second homer of the game and another run scored on a single by Frank White, a stolen base and double by Brett.
