George Brett, who tied the Royals' club record for doubles in one game with three on August 10, 1974, did it again with three more two-baggers in a 7-3 victory over the Tigers. The Royals also had doubles by Hal McRae, Clint Hurdle and John Wathan and a homer by Willie Wilson. The Tigers fell short in extra-base hits with doubles by Tim Corcoran and Al Cowens and homers by Champ Summers and Alan Trammell. [The Sporting News]
