Sending 11 men to bat, the Royals erupted for five runs in the first inning and breezed to a 9-1 victory over the Brewers. Harmon Killebrew contributed to the outburst with a two-run double. John Mayberry added three more runs to the Royals' total with a homer in the fourth. Dennis Leonard, who pitched the route, gave up nine hits, but the Royals backed their rookie with four double plays. George Scott homered in the seventh for the Brewers' run. [The Sporting News]
