ST Game 6 @ Boston Red Sox L 8-2 LP-Mike Hedlund (0-1)
SP – KC-Mike Hedlund (0-0 2.25) BOS-Ray Culp (1-0 4.50)
Boston scored in every inning but two, and one of those was the ninth and they didn’t have to bat then anyway. The only pitcher for KC who didn’t give up an earned run was Don O’Riley and he only pitched two thirds of an inning, due to back spasms. He’ll be out for a couple of weeks. Player of the game was Boston’s Carl Yazstremski, going 2 for 3 with a homer and 2 rbi’s.

03.08.1969
ST Game 7 vs New York Yankees W 2-1 WP-Bill Butler (1-1) SV-Chris Zachary (1)
SP – NYY-Al Downing (1-0 0.00) KC-Bill Butler (0-1 6.75)
Hey, this is nice. A good, old-fashioned pitcher’s duel and the boys in blue were able to get just enough offense early and were able to make it stand up. KC manufactured a run in the bottom of the first after Joe Foy led off with a double. Leo Cardenas couldn’t advance him with a flyout to right, so 3 pitches later Foy steals third. Mike Fiore, who went a perfect 3 for 3, knocked him in with a single up the middle and the early 1-0 lead. The Yankees responded immediately in the second inning though on a solo homer by Thurman Munson that just cleared the left field fence. Undeterred, the Royals retook the lead in the bottom half as Foy got a key two-out hit to score Paul Schaal with the final run of the game.

INJURY NEWS
Apparently it’s a run on pitchers being injured, as this time Cincinnati’s Gary Nolan damaged the meniscus in his left knee. It doesn’t appear to be serious as the doctor’s anticipate Nolan returning in a week or two.
