Knocking in two runs with a homer and a double, Tony Armas paced the A's to a 6-3 triumph over the Royals. The A's trailed, 3-2, going into the seventh. The winning rally began when Glenn Burke doubled with one out, stole third and scored on a sacrifice by Jim Essian. Armas then lofted an opposite-field homer to right to give the A's a 4-3 lead. In the ninth inning, Armas drove in a run with a two-base hit during a two-run outburst.
