Notes & reviews

Dick Green's bunt foul, then rolled fair
Rollie Fingers entered with 2-0 count on Amos Otis; Royals coach Joe Schultz complained that Angels manager John McNamara had already talked to Diego Segui with Amos Otis at bat, so Segui came back to finish the walk to Otis on 2 more pitches
