Pounding out 17 hits, the Royals posted an 8-4 decision over the Orioles. K. C. registered four runs in the fifth inning. Willie Wilson reached first on an error by Mark Belanger and U.L. Washington then followed with a homer.

George Brett singled and scored on a double by Hal McRae and, after John Wathan walked, Willie Aikens singled home McRae. The Orioles' Mark Corey connected for his first major league homer with a mate aboard in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
