In a perfect night at bat, Frank White reached base six times on three walks, two singles and a homer as the Royals beat the Indians, 15-7, for their fifth straight victory. A walk to White and homer by George Brett started the Royals' barrage against Wayne Garland, who lasted only 1 1/3 innings. White whacked his homer in the eighth. In all, the Royals collected 17 hits, including four by Al Cowens, off Garland and two relievers.
