The first career grand slam by Al Cowens came in the first inning and triggered the Royals to a 12-5 rout of the Blue Jays. Cowens and Hal McRae each collected three hits and McRae also knocked in three runs with a double and sacrifice fly. John Mayberry hit a solo homer for the Jays and Rico Carty hit a ninth-inning two-run round-tripper.
