| Paul Splittorff yielded only two hits -- a single by Mike Andrews in the second inning and another by Johnny Jeter in the ninth -- while pitching the Royals to a 3-0 victory over the White Sox. Two errors by Ken Henderson led to the Royals' runs off Wilbur Wood. The center fielder dropped a fly by Freddie Patek in the fourth, paving the way for the initial tally, and then failed to hold another fly by Patek with the bases loaded in the seventh, allowing two runs to score.
