Game 12
2 – Royals
5 – Toronto
WP – Doyle Alexander (2-0)
LP – Charlie Leibrandt (1-2)
SV – Jim Acker (1)
Toronto scored 3 in the second on a bases loaded double by Willie Upshaw. Leibrandt gave up 5 in 7 with 4 walks against 3 strikeouts.
After the game, Toronto proposed a trade, sending me a light hitting minor league short stop, Bernie Tatis, for Steve Farr. Farr wasn't signed in real life until early May, so I'm leaving him where he is for now. But, I think I could do better than Tatis for return.
Game 13
4 – Royals
5 – Toronto
WP – Dave Stieb (3-0)
LP – Joe Beckwith (0-1)
Nearly came back, Toronto was cruising 3-0 in the 7th when Darryl Motley hit a 3-run homer to tie it. But in the 8th, Beckwith allowed Bell on with a single, and then Gura, to face the lefties Mulliniks and Upshaw, gave a 2-run homer to Mulliniks. Balboni hit a solo shot in the 9th, but Iorg stranded 2 to close out the game.
Game 14
0 – Royals
5 – Toronto
WP – Tim Englund (2-0)
LP – Buddy Black (1-2)
SV – Tom Henke (2)
Bats went cold again, with only 4 hits. Balboni had 2. We struck out 11 times, with 7 going to Wilson, White and Brett. Brett has gone cold going 2 for 24 in his last 6 games with only 1 walk and 1 double. No runs or RBIs.

Lynn Jones will be out longer than anticipated. Not sure when he'll return.
Toronto is now 14-1. Happy to be leaving Canada.
Buddy Black is tied for the American League Strikeout lead.
