GAME #038 @ Cleveland W 6-4 (16 inn)
WP – B. Miller (3-3) LP – V. Romo (1-1)
HR – KC: J. Rooker (1) CLE: D. Sims (6)

It took the Royals 16 long innings, their entire bullpen plus a usual starter in relief in order to grab the victory. Jim Rooker, making another spot start, homered early in the game to help KC get even with the Indians. It was a key 2 rbi single from the unlikely bat of Jerry Adair that gave the Royals the win.

People have to be wondering what Carlos Ramirez was thinking however, by having his closer Moe Drabowsky pitch 6.2 innings. Obviously the bullpen was already empty at the time since Rooker made the start and Galen Cisco, Tommie Sisk, and Tom Burgmeier had already been used. In fact, Rooker didn’t even make it through 5. Still, he had to know that Moe shouldn’t have been hung out like that. Drabowsky took one for the team, but what kind of effect will that have on him and the team?

POG – Kansas City’s Moe Drabowsky – 6.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 2 K, 89 pitches

“I’m exhausted,” said the clearly tired Drabowsky, whose right arm was encased in ice. “But the bullpen was empty by the time I came in. I’m just glad we won the game.”

“I wish things would have worked out differently,” replied Carlos Ramirez when asked about leaving his closer in so long. “I talked with Moe every inning after his second, making sure he was still able to go. He pitched his guts out for us tonight.”
