Brett, who helped trigger a free- for-all and was subsequently ejected, extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a three-run homer in the fourth inning Tuesday night to pow er the Kansas City Royals to a 6-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers. Dennis Leonard raised his record to 12-8 and picked up his fifth win in his last six starts. The right-hander shut out the Tigers until Champ Summers hit his ninth homer with Steve Kemp aboard in the eighth. Milt Wilcox retired the first nine batters he faced but gave up an in field single to Hal McRae after Willie Wilson walked to open the fourth. Brett followed with his 13th homer of the season. Wilcox, 11-7, didn’t give up another hit until Frank White beat out an infield single with one out in the eighth. Three runs scored when Wilson tripled, McRae doubled and Dave Chalk doubled. Two of Wilcox’s pitches forced Brett to hit the dirt the next time he batted following his homer. The second one angered him and after he flied to center, Brett rounded first and pointed an accusing finger at Wilcox. The pitcher threw down his glove and a benchclearing brawl halted play for several minutes. No one was injured but Brett was re moved from the game. In other AL games, it was Boston 3, Milwaukee 1; Baltimore 8, Chica go 2; Texas 8, New York 1; and Cleveland 8, Toronto 5. Rookie Dave Stapleton sparked a two-run eighth inning with a run scoring single, lifting Boston over Milwaukee. Terry Crowley’s grand slam cap ped a five-run fifth inning that en abled Steve Stone to win his 17th game. Crowly’s blast, his fifth of the year and third career grand slam, followed a bases-Ioaded single that scored Al Bumbry to tie the score. Crowley then followed with his hom er offlosing rookie Lamar Hoyt, 4-1. Cleveland won its 11th victory in the last 13 games. The Indians sent nine batters to the plate in a three- run second inning, highlighted by Dilone’s first of three hits. After a rain delay of 62 minutes, nine more Indians went to bat in the fourth and Brohamer’s single triggered a four- run inning. ★ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★■A: MANOR EAST 3 * Manor East Mall J Don’t miss this chance to see The Empire Strikes Back and get J * a colorful poster free with the purchase of a large coke and a *. ¥ large popcorn — while supplies last. * WALT DISNEY PRESENTS: A big double feature for your entertainment pleasure.
