5 – Baltimore
8 – Royals
WP – Bud Black (7-4)
LP – Mike Krukow (0-3)
SV – Dan Quisenberry (14)
Eddie Murray won player of the game with 2 solo home runs, but it could have gone to Buddy Biancalana, startin gat third in place of a day off for George Brett. He hit 2, 2-run doubles. The first one gave us the lead in the 4th, the second tacked on 2 insurance runs in the 8th. Quisenberry gave up Murray's second home run, but we had a 4-run lead by then.
Game 78 – July 5
4 – Baltimore
3 – Royals
WP – Ken Dixon (3-4)
LP – Steve Farr (0-1)
SV – Don Aase (12)
Most of the bats were silent for us except for Brett. 3 for 4 with 2 HR's and 3 RBI's. Floyd Rayford hit a solo shot in the 8th for the game deciding run off of Steve Farr.
Game 79 – July 6
2 – Baltimore
0 – Royals
WP – Bret Saberhagen (8-7)
LP – Jose Rijo (5-8)
Brrr.. Cold again. Sheridan and Royster had 2 hits each, but that was all we could muster. Mike Boddicker struck out 2 in 9 innings. Gubicza struck out 10 in 8.
Game 80 – July 7
6 – Baltimore
0 – Royals
WP – Scott McGregor (4-2)
LP – Larry Gura (1-5)
Shut down again, this time by Scott McGregor. Floyd Rayford is apparently a Royal-killer. In 8 games he has 17 hits for a .486 BA, 3 HR's and 10 RBI's. Only have 4 games left against the O's this year.
Gura had a bad game, although I might have pulled him for the 7th instead of letting him pitch and letting the lead go from 4 to 6 runs.
