Game 102 – August 2
1 – Boston
6 – Royals
WP – Bret Saberhagen (11-8)
LP – Oil Can Boyd (14-5)
Boyd is one of Boston's top starters, but we strung together a string of hits in the 4th and 5th innings. Orta and Cooper doubled, and both had 2 RBI's on the day. Orta added a solo home run in the 8th.
Saberhagen gave up 7 hits and 1 run with 5 K's in a rain-shortened 6.1 innings. McClure, Farr and Holland shut down the Sox to end the game.
Game 103 – August 3
3 – Boston
2 – Royals
WP – Mike Carista (1-3)
LP – Larry Gura (1-6)
Got the tying and winning runs on base in the bottom of the 9th, but couldn't bring them in. Jim Rice hit the game winning home run in the top of the 9th.
Carista started the game with an ERA of 9.82 in 3 starts and we couldn't figure him out. Real life, he never made it out of AA.
Black left the game with a blister on his pitching hand, and will miss a start.
Game 104 – August 4
4 – Boston
3 – Royals
WP – Bob Ojeda (8-10)
LP – Mark Gubicza (8-9)
SV – Steve Crawford (18)
Boston chipped away at Gubicza in the first half of the game and we couldn't chip back away.
3 errors (White, Wathan, Concepcion) led to 3 unearned runs.
