The Kansas City Royals beat the Tigers, 9-5. Pitching was the thorn in the Tigers' paw. Glenn Abbott gave up four hits to the first five batters he faced before settling down to some solid pitching. The Royals led after just one-half inning, 2-0. THE TIGERS answered with two runs of their own in the third inning when Tom Brookens took first on a routine fly ball that was dropped by first baseman Dane Iorg. Brookens moved to second on a fielder's choice. Kirk Gibson followed Alan Trammell's walk with a two-run triple to right-center. Gibby was stranded at third, though. The Tigers fluked other oppor- tunities to add to their total but failed when Trammall lined out with the bases loaded and two outs in the fourth. Ruppert Jones brought the crowd of 41,714 to their feet with a fifth in- ning two-run homer that made the score 4-2. KC WOULDN'T give up, though, and errupted for four runs in the six- th. The Tigers tried a rain dance that temporarily stopped the rally with a 28-minute rain delay with the bases loaded. But the Royals picked up where they left off when play resumed. Doug Bair came in for Abbott and Pat Sheridan smacked the first pitch for a double, scoring two and giving the Royals a 6-4 lead. Bair then got George Brett to fly out to end the six- th. The Royals added two more in the seventh when Don Slaught doubled off of Gibson's glove with the bases loaded to make the score 8-4. GIBSON redeemed himself in the eighth with a booming triple up the alley, his eighth of the year. One out later Jones singled home Gibson for the Tigers' final tally.
