The Twins won their ninth straight game, gaining an 8-7 victory over the Royals, who went down to their eighth successive defeat. A pinch-hit homer by George Brett with the bases loaded gave the Royals a 7-4 lead in the sixth inning, but the Twins retaliated with four markers in the seventh. A two-run homer by Glenn Adams drove in the second and third runs of the inning and, after Butch Wynegar walked, Rob Wilfong drilled a run-scoring double.
