Making his first start in a Kansas City uniform, Lee May drove in two runs with three hits against his former teammates as the Royals shaded the Orioles, 3-2. Frank White and May lashed consecutive doubles to give K.C. a 1-0 lead in the second inning and May singled home the first marker of a two-run fourth. Jerry Grote, making his first appearance in the A.L., doubled home the second run of the inning.
