Pounding out 14 hits against four pitchers, the Royals posted their seventh straight victory, romping over the Mariners, 10-0. Dennis Leonard tossed a six-hitter for his first win since April 29.

Singles by Amos Otis and Al Cowens plus an error by shortstop Craig Reynolds loaded the bases in the second inning before Darrell Porter cleared them with a double. Porter scored the fourth run of the inning on a single by Frank White. The Royals added a run in the third on a sacrifice fly by Joe Zdeb and four more in the sixth, highlighted by George Brett's two-run double. Brett also doubled home a run in the eighth.
