Unloading a 19-hit attack, the Royals routed the White Sox, 14-5. With the score 3-3, the Royals erupted for five runs in the fourth inning. A two-run single by George Brett and home run by John Wathan highlighted the outburst. Willie Wilson hit a two-run inside-the-park homer in the seventh inning. Eduardo Rodriguez was the beneficiary of his teammates' hitting and breezed to his fourth straight win.
