George Brett had a perfect night at bat with five hits and drove in four runs to lead the Royals to a 5-2 victory over the Angels. Brett knocked in his first run with a double in the third inning. After the Angels took a 2-1 lead, Amos Otis beat out an infield hit in the eighth, stole second and scored on a single by Brett. Brett moved to second on the throw and, after an intentional pass to John Mayberry, scored on a single by Al Cowens. Brett then capped his night with a two-run single in the ninth.
