George Brett collected three singles, drove in one run and scored another to pace the Royals to a 7-1 victory over the Brewers. Willie Wilson began the K.C. first inning with a walk, stole second and scored on a single by Brett.

The Royals added three runs in the third on a triple by Cesar Geronimo, RBI groundout by Wilson, single by Brett, walk to Amos Otis and two-run double by Lee May. John Wathan delivered a run-scoring groundout in the sixth and drilled an RBI three-bagger and came home on a sacrifice fly by Geronimo in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
