Handed a six-run lead in the first inning, Larry Gura proceeded to pitch the Royals to a 7-0 victory over the Orioles, who suffered their sixth straight defeat. Willie Wilson doubled and Frank White singled to start the Royals' scoring. George Brett knocked in White with a triple and counted himself on a double by Hal McRae. Pete LaCock then was safe on an error by Oriole second baseman Rich Dauer before Clint Hurdle climaxed the inning with three runs on the Royals' first homer in eight home games. [The Sporting News] |
