After hitting the 100th homer of his major league career in the first inning, Hal McRae doubled in the eighth and scored on a two-bagger by Darrell Porter to bring the Royals a 4-3 victory over the Brewers. In the first, George Brett and Amos Otis singled and Al Cowens hit a sacrifice fly before McRae added two runs with his homer. The Brewers got two runs on a bases-loaded double by Buck Martinez in the second and tied the score in the sixth when Sixto Lezcano doubled and Jim Wohlford singled. [The Sporting News]
