Although John Mayberry hit three homers and Harmon Killebrew added one, the Royals otherwise failed to score against Fergie Jenkins and lost to the Rangers, 5-4. The Rangers, who had a circuit clout by Mike Cubbage, picked up what proved to be the winning run in the sixth inning when Jim Sundberg singled and crossed the plate on errors by Mayberry and Steve Mingori, pitching in relief of Steve Busby.
