Robinson was a source of great heartache for the Kansas City faithful all evening. He just kept pounding out hits! He lofted a three-run bomb in the 1st inning, delivered a solo blast in the 3rd inning, depressed the partisan hometown fans with a grand slam home run in the 4th inning, banged out a single in the 6th inning and bombed a two-run dinger (his 8th of the season) in the 8th inning. Chicago AL finished with 15 hits while Kansas City ended up with 6. Johnny Podres(2-0) was the winner allowing 1 run in 5 innings. Stobbs earned his 1st save. Billy Pierce(1-1) was hit with the loss. He served up 3 gopher balls in 5 innings. Robinson said, 'It was just all timing. I had pretty good rhythm at the plate tonight. You've got to take advantage of mistakes when you can. A couple pitches were definitely up a little bit - right in my zone.'
