The Royals and Indians split a doubleheader, K.C. taking the opener, 5-0, as Dennis Leonard recorded his second straight shutout, and the Tribe capturing the nightcap, 8-5, as Jorge Orta led the way with four RBIs. In the lidlifter, run-scoring singles by Amos Otis, Willie Aikens and John Wathan staked Leonard to a 3-0 lead in the first inning. A sacrifice fly by Wathan produced another tally in the third and Frank White drilled a solo homer in the fourth.

After spotting the Royals a 3-0 lead in the second game, the Indians tied the count on a three-run homer by Joe Charboneau in the second inning. Orta blasted a two-run round-tripper in the seventh to put the Indians ahead to stay and end the Royals' winning streak at eight games. [The Sporting News]
