Bouncing back from a 5-0 deficit, the Royals shaded the Orioles, 6-5. K.C. tied the game with a five-run outburst in the fifth inning on an RBI single by George Brett, sacrifice fly by Amos Otis, run-scoring double by Hal McRae and two-run single by Jerry Martin.

John Wathan singled in the sixth inning, took second on a two-out walk to Willie Aikens and scored on a single by Otis. Dan Quisenberry pitched the final three innings to notch the save. [The Sporting News]
