The slugging of Amos Otis and Darrell Porter enabled the Royals to snare a 4-2 victory from the Rangers. The Royals trailed, 1-0, going into the seventh inning when Porter tied the score with a home run. Later in the inning, Otis belted a round-tripper to put the Royals ahead. Porter hit his second homer of the game in the ninth. Otis then singled home the Royals' final run.
