Darrell Porter delivered an RBI single with two out in the bottom of the 11th inning to lift the Royals to a 6-5 victory over the A's. Rusty Torres led off the Royals' 11th with a single and reached second on a sacrifice by Willie Wilson.

One out later, George Brett was walked intentionally to set the stage for Porter, who ripped the game-winning hit. The Royals had tied the score with three runs in the bottom of the ninth, two coming on a double by Dave Chalk and another on a single by Wilson. [The Sporting News]
