George Brett went 3-for-3 to raise his average to .406 as the Royals downed the Rangers, 5-3, in 12 innings. Hal McRae opened the 12th with a double. After Brett was intentionally walked and Darrell Porter drew a pass to load the sacks, Willie Aikens delivered a sacrifice fly to break the tie. The Royals picked up an insurance tally when Brett came home on a wild pitch.
