Oakland power drubs Royals, 11-1

KANAS CITY, Mo..The Oakland Athletics gladly would have loaned their binoculars to the Kansas City Royals here last night.
After all, K.C.'s pitching staff seemingly needed the field glasses most of the night while they helplessly watched a multitude of A's hits sprayed around Royals Stadium.
When it was over, five Royal pitchers had been rocked for 13 hits, including three home runs and six RBI. The Kansas City's win streak has bealled at five before 36,044 fans.
THE LOSS CUTS the Royal lead over Oakland in the American League West Division to six games, with 10 left for each team. The Royals' magic number remains
Gene Tenace fails to make it an even dozen against the Royals
The last game of the three-game series starts at 7:30 tonight. The Royals' probable starter is Dennis Leonard (17-8); Oakland will pitch Mike Torrez (14-10).
A flap over binoculars erupted during Tuesday night's game when K.C. manager Whitey Herzog marched on the field and pulled some field glasses from the Oakland bulldog. He contended that the AS had been wrong in the signals of Royals catcher Burke Martinez.
The Athletics didn't need binoculars last night.
Gene Tenace, Phil Garner and Joe Rudi paced the A's attack with home runs to help give Vida Blue (17-12) the win. Martin Pattik (8-13) took the loss, less争冠 six runs on defense.
THE A'S GOT all the runs they needed in the first when Tenace smashed his 21st home run of the season into three. The Campaniers aboard, Campaneries, who trotted in second when Fred Patek dropped his pop up, scored the first of seven unraised runs
An unconcerned Herzog following the game, said, "We didn't play very well tonight. When you give up seven unearned runs, isn't much you can do to save lives."
"It was pretty well cut and dried after they were up four runs with Vida pitching. If we'd stayed close, we might have got him." But Blue, the ace of the A's pitching staff, let the Royals get back in it. He allowed hits, struck out three and walked just one.
"WITH A LEAD like that, I think I had the hitters at a disadvantage." Blue said in the Athletic lockout so my central has been with it my winnings season and it was fairly sharp tonight. Also, I was able to get a little extra velocity when I needed it. I just hope we're still in it come
Monday, the division battle moves back out to the West Coast, when Blue again faces the Rivals. Going into tonight's game, the Rivals face four games remaining against each other.
With a beer in one hand and a cigar in the other, Oakland manager Chuck Tanner said, 'There was great satisfaction in winning tonight because we had to stay in contention. But it doesn't take the pressure off us any more than there was yesterday.'
"W.I.E. HAVE A long way to go but it's not an im amesis hill to climb. This is a ball club that you don't need to take into a team meeting and say, hey, this is an important game." They know. They've been in it. Nightlight, they came back with a vengeance."
Indeed they did—every man in Oakland's starting lineup hit safely.
The Royals trimmed the A's lead to 3-1 on Hal McRae's run-scoring double off third baseman Sal Bando's glove in the bottom of the first.
But Oakland came back with a run in the second. Bill North singled, then stole his wheel to walk with the team. He was driven by when Campanari hit a single up the middle.
IN THE SIXTH, Oakland ran away from the Royals, scoring four unearned runs following an error by second baseman Frank White. On a 2-4 pitch from reliever Tom Brunei, he poked up two grounders to halfway up the left field foul pole to make it 8-1.
