A two-run homer by Clint Hurdle triggered the Royals to a 4-2 triumph over the Orioles. Hurdle's blast in the fifth inning followed a two-out single by John Wathan. The Royals kayoed Orioles starter Mike Flanagan in the sixth on a double by Willie Wilson, RBI single by U.L. Washington and single by George Brett. After Scott McGregor replaced Flanagan, Hal McRae stroked a run-scoring single. Dan Quisenberry came on in the ninth after the Birds loaded the bases with none out and preserved the victory.
