After tying the score with a homer by John Mayberry in the ninth inning, the Royals pushed over a run in the 10th and defeated the Twins, 6-5. Al Cowens drew a walk to open the overtime stanza and Buck Martinez sacrificed. The Twins then walked Cookie Rojas intentionally to get at Fred Patek, who broke up the game with a single that scored Cowens. [The Sporting News]
