Game 124 – August 27
6 – Royals
5 – Milwaukee
WP – Bret Saberhagen (14-10)
LP – Derek Diaz (1-1)
SV – Dan Quisenberry (23)
Everything rolled except for 1 bad inning. Saberhagen gave up 5 in the 6th and the Brewers held the lead for a couple innings. But we tied in the 7th when Brett scored on a Frank White single. And we took the lead back in the 8th on a Pat Sheridan solo home run, his 4th of the year.
Brett went 2-2 with a 2-run homer in the 1st. He scored 3 runs and walked 3 times.
Game 125 – August 27
8 – Royals
4 – Milwaukee
WP – Scott Bankhead (1-0)
LP – Moose Haas (9-11)
Bankhead was good, not great during his first Major League start, but the offense rolled and a perfect start wasn't necessary. Bankhead walked 3 and gave up 8 hits, but held the Brewers to 2 runs. His first ML strikeout was against Andre Dawson in the first. That's still his only strikeout.
David Cone was a bit worse, but with the 6-run lead, it didn't matter too much. In an inning and a third, he gave up 3 hits and walked 4. Farr came in and finished the game.
Jerry Royster led the offensive charge going 3-4 with 5 RBI's. He hit a 3-run homer off Daniel Scarpetta in the 7th. Those 5 RBI's are the most by a Royal in a game this season.
Game 126 – August 28
2 – Royals
15 – Milwaukee
WP – Ray Burris (8-12)
LP – Bud Black (8-10)
SV – Tim Crews (1) – 4 inning save
Here's one that got away from me. Black gave up 8 earned runs in 5 innings. I should have pulled him sooner. David Cone picked up 2 strikeouts in his inning of work. Jerry Royster again, made 2 errors.
Game 127 – August 29
2 – Royals
1 – Milwaukee
WP – Al Holland (3-5)
LP – Bryan Clutterbuck (6-4)
SV – Dan Quisenberry (24)
The Brewers took a 1-0 lead in the first and Chris Bosio was in top form for 5 innings. But pitching on 3 days rest, the rookie bowed out after 5. Frank White snuck a Derek Diaz pitch out over the left field wall for his 15th home run of the year.
In the top of the 9th, Brett and Cooper hit back to back doubles, Brett scoring on Cooper's.
Danny Jackson's back tightened up on him and he only lasted 3 and a third innings. He should be able to pitch through the injury.
-
3 out of 4 is good, but all games matter now. Texas is 5 games over 500 now, and along with Minnesota, might be pulling away from the rest of the pack.
The game gives me a 0.1% chance of making the playoffs.

My record 58-69; 5th; 8 games behind Texas
Real Life: 69-55; 2nd; 1.5 games behind California
