Willie Upshaw drove in two runs with a pair of singles, including the go-ahead run in the seventh inning as the Blue Jays triumphed over the Royals, 6-4. The score was 4-4 when Rance Mulliniks stroked a one-out single in the bottom of the seventh. Mullinks stole second and raced home on a single by Upshaw.

Ernie Whitt provided an insurance tally with a solo homer in the eighth. The benches cleared in the third inning when K.C. pitcher Dennis Leonard fired a fastball behind Damaso Garcia, who ventured toward the mound before being intercepted by plate umpire Larry Barnett. In the top of that frame, John Wathan had been hit by a pitch from Jim Clancy. [The Sporting News]
