In a Pier 6 donnybrook, the Royals outslugged the Indians, 12-10, as the teams combined for 35 hits. Amos Otis was the hitting hero for K.C., driving in five runs including a two-run double to cap a four-run eighth inning. A pinch-double by Willie Aikens drove in two tallies to tie the contest at 10-10 earlier in the frame.

The Tribe had trailed, 7-3, going into the bottom of the fifth, but scored five runs after two outs and nobody on base on a two-run double by Alan Bannister, two-run pinch-single by Chris Bando and RBI single by Jerry Dybzinski. Andre Thornton cracked a two-run homer in the sixth but Cleveland's relievers were unable to check the Royals. Dan Quisenberry blanked the Indians over the final two innings to earn the save.
